This CVE does not affect KrakenD

KrakenD does not implement or expose SSH functionality. The golang.org/x/crypto/ssh/agent package is a transitive dependency but its code paths are never invoked during KrakenD operation. The dependency was upgraded as a precaution.

Addressed through routine dependency maintenance in CE 2.13.6 and EE 2.13.4.
