Were the reality any bit as apocalyptic as you paint it, you should've then 
marked the report as security sensitive.

This is not the first time when your alleged reproducer is a python script 
that's effectively just a series of subprocess.run() invocations. Just write 
shell scripts.

> The connection succeeds and the certificate is accepted

No, it just plain does not. The connection fails with

```
- Status: The certificate is NOT trusted. The signature in the certificate is 
invalid. The name in the certificate does not match the expected.
*** PKI verification of server certificate failed...
*** Fatal error: Error in the certificate.
* Received alert '42': Certificate is bad.
Error in handshake: A TLS fatal alert has been received.
```

Tested on RHEL 8, RHEL 9, RHEL 10, Fedora 42, Ubuntu 24.04 (gnutls 3.8.3) and 
Ubuntu 22.04 (gnutls 3.7.3), which is three years old at this point.

Why are you looking for `Verification failed` is beyond me.

Why are you looking for it in stdout instead of stderr is beyond me.

Why do you jump to conclusions that the connection has been established is 
beyond me.

And if your report and/or your alleged reproducer has been generated by an LLM, 
in full or in part, please just stop doing whatever you're doing and never do 
that again.

This is not your first frivolous report. Please kindly abstain from reporting 
non-issues.
