| Improper Certificate Validation vulnerability in Erlang OTP public_key (pubkey_cert and public_key modules) allows a DNS nameConstraints bypass via subject CommonName fallback in TLS hostname verification.
Two flaws combine to allow a subordinate CA whose DNS nameConstraints are restricted (e.g. permitted;DNS:allowed.example.com) to issue a leaf certificate that an OTP TLS client accepts as a valid identity for an out-of-scope hostname (e.g. victim.example.com):
First, pubkey_cert:validate_names/6 in lib/public_key/src/pubkey_cert.erl only checks SAN DNS entries against nameConstraints. Per RFC 5280, a permitted DNS subtree only restricts certificates that contain a DNS-typed name. A leaf with no subjectAltName therefore trivially satisfies any permitted;DNS:... constraint regardless of its subject commonName.
Second, public_key:pkix_verify_hostname/3 in lib/public_key/src/public_key.erl falls back to the subject commonName when no subjectAltName is present, extracting id-at-commonName attributes as presented IDs and matching them against the reference hostname. The strict pkix_verify_hostname_match_fun(https) matcher does not suppress this fallback.
The result is that path validation accepts a CN-only leaf under a DNS-constrained intermediate (no SAN means the nameConstraints are not triggered), and hostname verification then accepts it via the CN fallback. The bypass is reachable from stock ssl:connect with verify_peer, a trusted CA, SNI, and the canonical strict https hostname matcher.
This issue affects OTP from OTP 19.3 before OTP 29.0.1, OTP 28.5.0.1, OTP 27.3.4.12 and OTP 26.2.5.21, corresponding to public_key from 1.4 before 1.21.1, 1.20.3.1, 1.17.1.3 and 1.15.1.7. |
| Improper Following of a Certificate's Chain of Trust vulnerability in Erlang OTP public_key (pubkey_cert module) allows a non-CA certificate to be accepted as an intermediate issuer, enabling certificate chain forgery.
In lib/public_key/src/pubkey_cert.erl, pubkey_cert:validate_extensions/7 contains two flaws that together allow a certificate with basicConstraints cA:false and no keyUsage extension to be used as an intermediate issuer in a chain passed to public_key:pkix_path_validation/3: the cA:false clause recurses into the remaining extensions without rejecting the certificate when it is in issuer position, and the keyUsage check only fires when the extension is present, so a certificate lacking keyUsage entirely bypasses the keyCertSign enforcement.
Any party holding an end-entity certificate with basicConstraints cA:false and no keyUsage extension, issued by any CA in the victim's trust store, can use that certificate's private key to sign forged leaf certificates for arbitrary identities. public_key:pkix_path_validation/3 accepts the resulting chain, and by extension every TLS or mTLS endpoint built on the OTP ssl application that relies on the default verifier is affected, including server identity verification on the client side and client certificate verification on mTLS servers.
This issue affects OTP from OTP 17.0 before OTP 29.0.1, OTP 28.5.0.1, OTP 27.3.4.12 and OTP 26.2.5.21, corresponding to public_key from 0.22 before 1.21.1, 1.20.3.1, 1.17.1.3 and 1.15.1.7. |
| When verifying a certificate chain which contains a certificate containing multiple email address constraints which share common local portions but different domain portions, these constraints will not be properly applied, and only the last constraint will be considered. |
| Off-by-one error in Microsoft Office Word allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information locally. |
| When kuma-dp is started against an HTTPS control plane and the operator did not pass a CA certificate, the data plane connects with TLS peer verification disabled, and the dataplane authentication token is sent over that unverified connection.
An on-path actor can intercept the dataplane authentication token and impersonate the control plane to the data plane, injecting a forged bootstrap configuration and taking over the proxy. |
| When an operator adds an HTTPS control plane profile to kumactl without providing a CA certificate, kumactl disables TLS verification and sends API tokens over the unverified connection.
An attacker on the network path between the operator and the control plane can intercept user or admin API tokens and then act against the control plane as that user. |
| Improper certificate validation vulnerabilities in Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect™ app enable an unauthenticated attacker with man-in-the-middle (MitM) access to intercept and modify application communications. VPN tunnel traffic is not impacted.
The GlobalProtect app on iOS, Android, and Chrome OS is not affected. |
| An insufficient certificate validation in a privileged communication workflow, was identified in a GMS application 9.5.1 (Build 9510.1044) and earlier versions which, under a successful MitM attack and controlled network conditions, could permit unauthorized changes. |
| SSL verification is disabled in the DNS Cluster system. This could allow for a malicious server to man-in-the-middle the request and capture credentials. |
| A command injection vulnerability in the listed NETGEAR models allows a network-adjacent attacker with the ability to intercept and modify local network traffic (attacker-in-the-middle) to compromise the confidentiality and integrity of the affected device. This issue is limited to certain region-specific SKUs. |
| A flaw was found in Open Cluster Management (OCM), the technology underlying Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (ACM). Improper validation of Kubernetes client certificate renewal allows a managed cluster administrator to forge a client certificate that can be approved by the OCM controller. This enables cross-cluster privilege escalation and may allow an attacker to gain control over other managed clusters, including the hub cluster. |
| Cleartext transmission of sensitive information in the Core of Ivanti Endpoint Manager before version 2024 SU7 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker in a MITM position to leak credentials for external SQL connections. |
| A vulnerability in the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Virtual Private Network (VPN) Client Certificate Authentication feature for Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to establish an SSL VPN connection and bypass certain SSL certificate verification steps. The vulnerability is due to incorrect verification of the SSL Client Certificate. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by connecting to the ASA VPN without a proper private key and certificate pair. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to establish an SSL VPN connection to the ASA when the connection should have been rejected. This vulnerability affects Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) and Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software that is running on the following Cisco products: 3000 Series Industrial Security Appliances (ISA), ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances, ASA 5500-X Series Next-Generation Firewalls, ASA Services Module for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches and Cisco 7600 Series Routers, Adaptive Security Virtual Appliances (ASAv), Firepower 4110 Security Appliances, Firepower 9300 ASA Security Modules. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvg40155. |
| Dancer::Plugin::Auth::Google versions before 0.08 for Perl have TLS verification disabled.
The default user agent is initialised with SSL_verify_mode explicitly disabled.
An attacker with network man-in-the-middle (MITM) capability between the Dancer application and googleapis.com can intercept the OAuth2 token exchange and userinfo fetch, return a forged access_token and user profile, and be logged in to the Dancer application as any Google user. |
| SAP Approuter does not correctly validate client certificates in certain callback flows. An attacker with low privileges, holding a certificate from the same trusted authority with matching subject values, could bypass the identity check. This complexity makes the attack difficult to execute. Successful exploitation could allow impersonation of a trusted internal component, resulting in a high impact on integrity and a low impact on confidentiality and availability. |
| DEEBOT PRO M1 and DEEBOT PRO K1VAC do not validate server certificates in MQTT communications. Operation logs and activity logs stored on the affected products may be retrieved. |
| DEEBOT PRO M1 and DEEBOT PRO K1VAC use wget command with server certificate validation disabled.
A man-in-the-middle attack may allow to obtain and/or alter communications of the affected products. As a result, arbitrary code may be executed with the administrative privilege. |
| Android and iOS apps ECOVACS PRO App improperly validate server certificates.
Communication may be retrieved and/or altered. |
| Dell RVTools versions prior to 4.8.1, contains an improper certificate validation vulnerability in the collector. A remote unauthenticated attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability leading to loss of confidentiality and integrity. |
| An improper certificate validation vulnerability was reported in multiple Lenovo XClarity Orchestrator (LXCO) 2.2.0 microservices that could allow an adjacent network attacker to intercept sensitive communications by performing a machine-in-the-middle attack against HTTPS connections during TLS certificate validation under certain circumstances. |
