5.3 MEDIUM

Requires multi-vhost server with divergent client-auth policies and an existing session (PR:L, AC:H); authentication bypass yields integrity impact only, with no confidentiality or availability effect.

DescriptionCVE.org

Missing SNI/ALPN binding on stateful (session-ID) resumption, which previously skipped the binding check performed for ticket-based resumption. A cached session could be resumed under a different SNI/ALPN than originally negotiated and, where client-authentication policy differs across virtual hosts, carry the cached peer-authentication state into a context it was not established for. Resumption now verifies the SNI/ALPN binding for all paths and declines (falling back to a full handshake) on mismatch.

AnalysisAI

Session authentication bypass in wolfSSL exposes servers running multiple TLS virtual hosts to cross-vhost peer-authentication spoofing via stateful session-ID resumption. When a client resumes a cached session using a session ID rather than a session ticket, wolfSSL previously skipped the SNI and ALPN binding verification that was already enforced on the ticket-based resumption path - allowing the cached peerAuthGood state and peer-certificate context from one virtual host to be silently carried into a second virtual host with a different client-authentication policy. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Establish TLS session on permissive virtual host
Delivery
Extract cached session ID from connection
Exploit
Craft ClientHello with target vhost SNI and cached session ID
Execution
Server performs stateful resumption without SNI binding check
Persist
Peer authentication state from original vhost carried into target vhost
Impact
Access target vhost resources without valid client certificate

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires three simultaneous conditions. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.0 (AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N) accurately captures the constrained exploitability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with a legitimate TLS session to a permissive wolfSSL virtual host (e.g., VHost A, which does not require client certificates) captures the session ID from that connection. The attacker then initiates a TLS ClientHello that presents the session ID for resumption but advertises the SNI of a stricter virtual host (VHost B, which mandates mutual TLS client authentication). …
Remediation The upstream fix is available in wolfSSL GitHub pull request #10489 (https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl/pull/10489); however, a tagged release version incorporating this fix has not been independently confirmed from the available intelligence - upgrade to the first wolfSSL release published after PR #10489 is merged. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
