Title
Active agent heartbeat missing TLS check
Summary
Zabbix Server and Proxy accept the active agent heartbeat message regardless of the configured PSK or certificate authentication. This means someone with access to the Zabbix trapper port can report an arbitrary host using an active agent as available, resulting in a loss of integrity.
