🛡️ JLSEC-2026-742 — wolfssl-jll
Description
Partial-chain certificate verification may accept chains that terminate at a peer-supplied,...
Partial-chain certificate verification may accept chains that terminate at a peer-supplied, untrusted intermediate certificate rather than a trusted anchor. An attacker could present a chain that ends at an intermediate they control and have it accepted as valid. This affects the OpenSSL compatibility certificate-path-building path (wolfSSL_X509_verify_cert / X509_STORE, OPENSSL_EXTRA) when the X509_V_FLAG_PARTIAL_CHAIN verify flag is enabled.

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity high, availability none.
