JLSEC-2026-669

In wolfSSL before 5.2.0, certificate validation may be bypassed during attempted authentication by a TLS 1.3 client to a TLS 1.3 server. This occurs when the sigalgo field differs between the certificateverify message and the certificate message...

JLSEC-2026-737 TLS 1.3 post-handshake authentication (PHA) issue where a server could accept a client's Finished...

TLS 1.3 post-handshake authentication PHA issue where a server could accept a client's Finished message without the client having sent a Certificate and CertificateVerify. The post-handshake-auth exemption that allows an empty/absent peer certificate was only intended for the initial handshake, b...

JLSEC-2026-721 Dual-Algorithm CertificateVerify out-of-bounds read

Dual-Algorithm CertificateVerify out-of-bounds read. When processing a dual-algorithm CertificateVerify message, an out-of-bounds read can occur on crafted input. This can only occur when --enable-experimental and --enable-dual-alg-certs is used when building wolfSSL...

JLSEC-2026-670

In wolfSSL before 5.2.0, a TLS 1.3 server cannot properly enforce a requirement for mutual authentication. A client can simply omit the certificateverify message from the handshake, and never present a certificate...

JLSEC-2026-697 X.509 trust-chain bypass in the OpenSSL compatibility certificate verifier...

X.509 trust-chain bypass in the OpenSSL compatibility certificate verifier wolfSSLX509verifycert. This affects only builds with --enable-opensslextra OPENSSLEXTRA and whose application validates certificates by calling X509verifycert with caller-supplied untrusted intermediate certificates; for...

JLSEC-2026-716 Missing hash/digest size and OID checks allow digests smaller than allowed when verifying ECDSA...

Missing hash/digest size and OID checks allow digests smaller than allowed when verifying ECDSA certificates, or smaller than is appropriate for the relevant key type, to be accepted by signature verification functions. This could lead to reduced security of ECDSA certificate-based authentication...

With TLS 1.2 connections a client can use any digest, specifically a weaker digest that is supported, rather than those in the CertificateRequest...

JLSEC-2026-699 X.509 trust-chain bypass (path-depth exhaustion) in the OpenSSL compatibility certificate verifier...

X.509 trust-chain bypass path-depth exhaustion in the OpenSSL compatibility certificate verifier wolfSSLX509verifycert. This affects only builds with --enable-opensslextra whose application calls X509verifycert with caller-supplied untrusted intermediates; for those users it is critical, otherwis...

Two buffer overflow vulnerabilities existed in the wolfSSL CRL parser when parsing CRL numbers: a heap-based buffer overflow could occur when improperly storing the CRL number as a hexadecimal string, and a stack-based overflow for sufficiently sized CRL numbers. With appropriately crafted CRLs,...

JLSEC-2026-717

URI nameConstraints from constrained intermediate CAs are parsed but not enforced during certificate chain verification in wolfcrypt/src/asn.c. A compromised or malicious sub-CA could issue leaf certificates with URI SAN entries that violate the nameConstraints of the issuing CA, and wolfSSL woul...

JLSEC-2026-724 X.509 date buffer overflow in `wolfSSL_X509_notAfter` / `wolfSSL_X509_notBefore`

X.509 date buffer overflow in wolfSSLX509notAfter / wolfSSLX509notBefore. A buffer overflow may occur when parsing date fields from a crafted X.509 certificate via the compatibility layer API. This is only triggered when calling these two APIs directly from an application, and does not affect TLS...

JLSEC-2026-715 An integer underflow issue exists in wolfSSL when parsing the Subject Alternative Name (SAN)...

An integer underflow issue exists in wolfSSL when parsing the Subject Alternative Name SAN extension of X.509 certificates. A malformed certificate can specify an entry length larger than the enclosing sequence, causing the internal length counter to wrap during parsing. This results in incorrect...

JLSEC-2026-735 Un-negotiated Raw Public Key (RFC 7250) accepted in place of an X.509 certificate, bypassing chain...

Un-negotiated Raw Public Key RFC 7250 accepted in place of an X.509 certificate, bypassing chain validation. A raw public key has no chain, so ParseCertRelative accepts it without performing any trust verification; it must therefore only be accepted when RPK was actually negotiated for that peer...

JLSEC-2026-700 Out-of-bounds heap read during SM2/SM3 certificate signature verification

Out-of-bounds heap read during SM2/SM3 certificate signature verification. When parsing a certificate with an SM3wSM2 signature, the Subject Key Identifier computation reads the trailing 65 bytes of the public key without checking that the key is at least that long. A public key shorter than 65...

JLSEC-2026-738 Chain intermediate CA:TRUE without keyCertSign accepted as a signing CA

Chain intermediate CA:TRUE without keyCertSign accepted as a signing CA. Intermediate CA certificates are required to have the keyCertSign key usage when a Key Usage extension is present, but chain-supplied temporary CAs WOLFSSLTEMPCA added while building a certificate path were previously exempt...

JLSEC-2026-690 A certificate verification error in wolfSSL when building with the `WOLFSSL_SYS_CA_CERTS` and...

A certificate verification error in wolfSSL when building with the WOLFSSLSYSCACERTS and WOLFSSLAPPLENATIVECERTVALIDATION options results in the wolfSSL client failing to properly verify the server certificate's domain name, allowing any certificate issued by a trusted CA to be accepted regardles...

JLSEC-2026-703

An integer overflow vulnerability existed in the static function wolfssladdtochain, that caused heap corruption when certificate data was written out of bounds of an insufficiently sized certificate buffer. wolfssladdtochain is called by these API: wolfSSLCTXaddextrachaincert,...

JLSEC-2026-694 OCSP CertID serial-number length-confusion in `wolfSSL_OCSP_resp_find_status` allows a same-issuer...

OCSP CertID serial-number length-confusion in wolfSSLOCSPrespfindstatus allows a same-issuer SingleResponse whose serial is a prefix of the target serial to be reported as the revocation status of a different certificate. The lookup compared serial-number bytes without first requiring the two...

JLSEC-2026-723 Heap buffer overflow in CertFromX509 via AuthorityKeyIdentifier size confusion

Heap buffer overflow in CertFromX509 via AuthorityKeyIdentifier size confusion. A heap buffer overflow occurs when converting an X.509 certificate internally due to incorrect size handling of the AuthorityKeyIdentifier extension...
