Lifecycle Timeline
4Description
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 if the public CA key used is also known. This affects ECDSA/ECC verification when EdDSA or ML-DSA is also enabled.
Analysis
ECDSA signature verification in wolfSSL 3.12.0 through 5.9.0 accepts cryptographically weak digest sizes below protocol-mandated minimums, enabling authentication bypass when attackers possess the public CA key. Authenticated network attackers can exploit this to compromise confidentiality and integrity of certificate-based sessions. …

Remediation
Within 24 hours: Identify all systems running wolfSSL versions 3.12.0-5.9.0 using inventory/dependency scanning tools. Within 7 days: Apply vendor-released patch to upgrade all affected wolfSSL instances to version 5.9.1 or later; prioritize production TLS endpoints and certificate validation services. …
