Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-33810)
CWE-ID: CWE-295 - Improper Certificate Validation
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certificate name constraints.
The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate validation in the Certificate.Verify function in crypto/x509 when verifying a certificate chain containing excluded DNS constraints and wildcard DNS SANs that use different letter case than the constraint. A remote attacker can present a specially crafted certificate chain to bypass certificate name constraints.
This only affects validation of otherwise trusted certificate chains issued by a root CA in the VerifyOptions.Roots CertPool or in the system certificate pool.
