Hi,

I'm currently implementing the RFC 8898 and I have a question regarding this specific paragraph (in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8898#name-security-considerations):

   /The UAC MUST check the AS URL received in the 401/407 response
   against a list of trusted ASs configured on the UAC in order to
   prevent several classes of possible vulnerabilities when a client
   blindly attempts to use any provided AS./

Is it possible to have some precision on the kind of vulnerabilities that not checking the returned AS URL in the UAC could cause? This actually change the purpose of this RFC as it doesn't allow anymore to discover some new AS but more to guide the UAC to a specific AS based on its own list.

Regards,

Timothée Jaussoin/
