Steps to reproduce

So, this isn't exactly a bug (I guess you could call it a documentation bug?), but I'm not sure where/how else to pose this: Is the vulnerability that was patched yesterday-- CVE-2026-69397-- in the inbox/optional feature versions of OpenSSH on Windows present in the latest release/s on the two repositories here? If so, when will that be addressed? If not, can you provide any context on what the last vulnerable release/s were?
