PYSEC-2026-3553 python-cryptography: Duplicate self-signed intermediates can cause exponential path-building

Summary When resolving invalid certificate chains that include duplicate copies of self-signed certificates, the processing recursively invokes the same candidate, leading to an exponential blowup. Although the limitation that the chain depth cannot exceed a specified maximum depth prevents...

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling through the buildchaininner function. An attacker can cause excessive resource consumption by submitting a certificate chain containing duplicate self-signed intermediates, which lead...

CVE-2026-69249

CVE-2026-69249 affects python-cryptography prior to 49.0.0, where resolving invalid certificate chains with duplicate self-signed intermediates can explode in recursion, causing resource exhaustion DoS. The core issue is in the recursive build_chain_inner not de-duplicating previously analyzed ca...
