Network-reachable X.509 auth (AV:N); crafting a malformed-CN cert accepted by trust chain raises complexity (AC:H); attacker needs a usable certificate (PR:L); impersonation yields C:H/I:H, no availability impact (A:N).

DescriptionNVD
Vulnerability in Spring Spring Security. SubjectX500PrincipalExtractor does not correctly handle certain malformed X.509 certificate CN values, which can lead to reading the wrong value for the username. In a carefully crafted certificate, this can lead to an attacker impersonating another user. This issue affects Spring Security: from 7.0.0 through 7.0.4.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass via user impersonation affects Spring Security 7.0.0 through 7.0.4, where the SubjectX500PrincipalExtractor mishandles malformed CN values in X.509 client certificates and extracts the wrong username. Authenticated attackers presenting a carefully crafted certificate can be authenticated as a different (potentially higher-privileged) user. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is very low (0.02%) and CISA SSVC marks exploitation as none.
