Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-50010)

CWE-ID: CWE-295 - Improper Certificate Validation

CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate validation in X509TrustManagerWrapper within netty-handler when establishing client TLS connections with a user-supplied plain X509TrustManager. A remote attacker can present a certificate for an unexpected hostname to disclose sensitive information.

The issue occurs because hostname verification is not performed in this configuration, even when HTTPS endpoint identification is expected by default.
