PKCS7_verify signer confusion allows forged signatures, where the signer associated with a signature is not correctly bound, permitting a forged signature to be accepted.
AnalysisAI
Signer confusion in wolfSSL's PKCS7_verify implementation allows a crafted PKCS#7 message to report a trusted certificate as the signer even when an attacker-controlled certificate produced the actual signature. Any application using wolfSSL for PKCS#7 signature verification - including JWT workflows flagged in the CVE tags - may incorrectly authorize operations as if from a trusted party. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target application was compiled with the HAVE_PKCS7 compile-time flag enabled and uses wolfSSL_PKCS7_get0_signers() to determine signer identity for trust or authorization decisions. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:A/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N) scores 5.9, reflecting a targeted rather than mass-exploitation scenario: the attacker must be on the adjacent network, attack complexity is high due to the required certificate bundle crafting, and specific prerequisites (AT:P) must be present. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker on the adjacent network crafts a malicious PKCS#7 signed message that places a legitimate trusted certificate first in the certificate bundle and their own attacker-controlled self-signed certificate second; the attacker's certificate produces the actual digital signature. When the victim application passes this message to wolfSSL's PKCS7_verify, the signature validates (the attacker cert matches the signature), but wolfSSL_PKCS7_get0_signers returns the trusted certificate as the reported signer, causing the application to treat the forged content as originating from the trusted party. … |
| Remediation | The upstream fix is available as GitHub PR #10203 (https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl/pull/10203); however, a specific tagged release version containing this fix has not been independently confirmed from available data - only the PR reference is present, not a versioned release artifact. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
