DescriptionCVE.org

In Bouncy Castle for Java before 1.85, Stapled OCSP response accepted without binding to the checked certificate. This issue also affects Bouncy Castle for Java LTS before 2.73.12, and Bouncy Castle for Java FIPS (BC-FJA) before bc-fips 2.0.2 (2.0.X series) and 2.1.3 (2.1.X series).

AnalysisAI

Certificate revocation-check bypass in the Bouncy Castle for Java (bc-java) PKIX provider allows a validly-signed OCSP response issued for one certificate to be accepted as proof-of-status for a different certificate, because the stapled response is not bound to the CertID of the certificate actually being checked. This means a revoked end-entity certificate can pass PKIXRevocationChecker validation when a 'good' OCSP response for another serial (e.g. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain revoked cert and mismatched signed OCSP 'good' response
Delivery
Present cert to victim's TLS/PKI client
Exploit
Staple OCSP response bound to other CertID
Execution
PKIXRevocationChecker accepts non-matching response
Persist
Revocation check bypassed, connection trusted
Impact
Establish MITM / impersonation

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the relying application performs OCSP revocation checking through Bouncy Castle's PKIXRevocationChecker and consumes a stapled/supplied OCSP response (via setOcspResponses) or an AIA-fetched response (itself gated behind the ocsp.enable security property, disabled by default in BC). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Signals are mixed and warrant careful interpretation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker holding a certificate that has been revoked (for example after a stolen private key) positions themselves as a TLS peer or MITM and staples a validly-signed OCSP 'good' response that actually covers a different certificate's serial (such as the CA's). A relying Java application using vulnerable Bouncy Castle OCSP revocation checking accepts the mismatched response as proof the presented certificate is not revoked, and the connection is trusted despite the revocation. …
Remediation Upgrade to a fixed release: bc-java 1.85 or later, bc-lts-java 2.73.12 or later, and for FIPS deployments BC-FJA 2.0.2 (2.0.X series) or 2.1.3 (2.1.X series) or later; the corresponding upstream fix is commit add5f822660f3b2c29fd824e2f4095469c42a1c7 (https://github.com/bcgit/bc-java/commit/add5f822660f3b2c29fd824e2f4095469c42a1c7) and the advisory at https://github.com/bcgit/bc-java/wiki/CVE-2026-58062. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all Java applications using Bouncy Castle (bc-java, bc-lts-java, and BC-FJA/FIPS variants) and identify which systems perform certificate revocation validation via OCSP. …
