  - Netty is a network application framework for development of protocol servers and clients. Prior to
    versions 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final, SimpleTrustManagerFactory.engineGetTrustManagers() and related
    paths wrap any user-supplied plain X509TrustManager in X509TrustManagerWrapper, which extends
    X509ExtendedTrustManager but implements the 3-arg checkServerTrusted(chain, authType, SSLEngine) by
    discarding the SSLEngine and calling the 2-arg delegate. Because the object now IS an
    X509ExtendedTrustManager, neither SunJSSE's internal AbstractTrustManagerWrapper nor Netty's own
    OpenSslX509TrustManagerWrapper will re-wrap it to add endpoint-identification. Consequently, even though
    Netty 4.2 sets endpointIdentificationAlgorithm=HTTPS by default, a client built with
    `SslContextBuilder.forClient().trustManager(somePlainX509TrustManager)` performs no hostname verification
    at all. Versions 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final patch the issue. (CVE-2026-50010)
