DescriptionNVD

A flaw was found in JSS (Java Security Services). The JSSTrustManager class does not verify NSS trust flags when validating CA certificates, allowing certificates present in the NSS database without TRUSTED_CA flags to be accepted as trust anchors for TLS connections. In non-default configurations where certificate revocation checking is disabled, this could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to forge certificates accepted by PKI client connections.

AnalysisAI

Improper certificate validation in JSS (Java Security Services) allows the JSSTrustManager class to accept CA certificates from the NSS database that lack TRUSTED_CA trust flags, meaning certificates never explicitly designated as trust anchors can still be used to anchor TLS chains. In non-default deployments where certificate revocation checking has been disabled, this creates a viable path for a man-in-the-middle attacker to forge certificates accepted by PKI client connections, with high confidentiality and low integrity impact. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Identify JSS deployment with revocation checking disabled
Delivery
Gain MITM position on network path
Exploit
Forge TLS certificate chain anchored by untrusted NSS database cert
Execution
Present forged chain during TLS handshake
Persist
JSSTrustManager accepts chain without verifying TRUSTED_CA flags
Impact
Decrypt or tamper with PKI client TLS session

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Two specific conditions must simultaneously be true for exploitation to succeed: (1) the target application must use JSS's JSSTrustManager for TLS certificate chain validation, and (2) certificate revocation checking must have been explicitly disabled in the application or system configuration - this is a non-default state. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 6.5 score and AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N vector reflect a network-reachable but high-complexity attack: no authentication to the target is required, but the attacker must achieve man-in-the-middle network positioning (AC:H) and the target must be running in a non-default configuration with certificate revocation checking explicitly disabled. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with network man-in-the-middle capability - via ARP spoofing, rogue AP, or compromised routing infrastructure - intercepts a TLS connection initiated by a PKI client using JSS with revocation checking disabled. The attacker presents a forged certificate chain rooted in a certificate that exists in the target's NSS database but was never granted TRUSTED_CA flags; because JSSTrustManager omits flag verification, the client accepts the chain. …
Remediation No specific fixed version has been confirmed in the available data; the Red Hat advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-78323 should be monitored for patch release and applied as soon as available. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
