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. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the upstream fix is available as GitHub PR #10203 and the vulnerability is straightforwardly reproducible by anyone familiar with PKCS#7 certificate bundle structure.
Certificate IP address name constraint enforcement in wolfSSL is silently disabled when the library is compiled without the WOLFSSL_IP_ALT_NAME preprocessor define, allowing a CA operator to issue certificates bearing IP address Subject Alternative Names that the issuing CA's nameConstraints extension was intended to prohibit. Any wolfSSL-based TLS endpoint built in this configuration will accept these constraint-violating certificates as valid, undermining PKI-enforced IP address restrictions. No public exploit has been identified and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV; the CVSS 4.0 score of 5.7 reflects meaningful exploitation constraints including high-privilege CA access and a specific non-default build configuration.
MAC forgery in wolfSSL 5.9.0 and later allows an attacker to authenticate arbitrary tampered messages when HMAC-BLAKE2 is used with keys exceeding the BLAKE2 block size. The wc_Blake2bHmacFinal and wc_Blake2sHmacFinal functions incorrectly reused the running message hash state to process oversized keys, discarding accumulated message data and producing a MAC that depends solely on the key, not the message. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the integrity failure is straightforward to exploit in any protocol or application that uses wolfSSL HMAC-BLAKE2 with keys longer than 128 bytes (BLAKE2b) or 64 bytes (BLAKE2s).
OCSP certificate status lookup in wolfSSL returns the wrong certificate's revocation status when a same-issuer SingleResponse serial number is a byte-prefix of the requested certificate's serial. The `wolfSSL_OCSP_resp_find_status` function in `src/ocsp.c` compared serial bytes via XMEMCMP without first verifying that both serial lengths are equal, allowing a 2-byte serial `01:02` in an OCSP response to satisfy a lookup for a 3-byte certificate serial `01:02:03`. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the integrity consequence is concrete: a revoked certificate could be incorrectly reported as valid if an attacker can supply a crafted OCSP response.
Session authentication bypass in wolfSSL exposes servers running multiple TLS virtual hosts to cross-vhost peer-authentication spoofing via stateful session-ID resumption. When a client resumes a cached session using a session ID rather than a session ticket, wolfSSL previously skipped the SNI and ALPN binding verification that was already enforced on the ticket-based resumption path - allowing the cached peerAuthGood state and peer-certificate context from one virtual host to be silently carried into a second virtual host with a different client-authentication policy. The upstream fix (PR #10489) extends the binding check to cover stateful resumption, declining mismatched resumptions and falling back to a full handshake. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS 4.0 score of 6.0 with AC:H and AT:P reflects the non-trivial configuration prerequisites.
Post-handshake authentication bypass in wolfSSL TLS 1.3 permits a connected client to skip certificate verification during server-initiated post-handshake re-authentication. When a server has issued a post-handshake CertificateRequest via wolfSSL_request_certificate(), a client can send a Finished message without providing a Certificate or CertificateVerify; the server incorrectly applies an initial-handshake exemption and accepts it, treating the client as authenticated. No public exploit is identified and this is not listed in CISA KEV; the vulnerability was self-disclosed by wolfSSL with a patch available in GitHub PR #10702.
wolfSSL's TLS 1.2 handshake logic silently downgrades Encrypt-then-MAC (ETM) to MAC-then-Encrypt when a client presents a stale session ID during a failed resumption attempt, affecting all builds compiled with HAVE_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC using CBC-mode cipher suites. This ETM extension silent-disable (CWE-757) exposes the downgraded connection to CBC-mode side-channel attacks such as Lucky Thirteen, exploitable by an adjacent-network attacker. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and no confirmed active exploitation; vendor patch is available upstream via PR #10167.
Out-of-bounds write in wolfSSL's SetSuitesHashSigAlgo function corrupts memory when an application passes an oversized signature algorithms list to the wolfSSL_CTX_set1_sigalgs_list or wolfSSL_set1_sigalgs_list APIs, writing past the end of the internal suites buffer (CWE-787). All wolfSSL versions prior to the bounds-check fix in PR #10204 are affected; the CVSS 4.0 score of 2.0 reflects a local-only vector, high complexity, and constrained impact limited to low integrity and availability degradation within the consuming process. No public exploit has been identified and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, indicating no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis.
PKCS#12 MAC verification in wolfSSL accepts truncated or zero-length MACs because the comparison uses an attacker-controlled length field parsed from the input structure rather than the expected digest size, completely defeating HMAC integrity protection on PKCS#12 key stores. Any wolfSSL-based application that parses PKCS#12 files from untrusted sources - including certificate import endpoints, VPN provisioning services, or key management systems - can be tricked into accepting a structurally tampered PKCS#12 bundle as MAC-verified. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified; the upstream fix is available as GitHub PR #10192 but a tagged patched release has not been independently confirmed.
wolfSSL's ML-KEM ARM64 NEON decapsulation path compares only half of the re-encrypted ciphertext during the Fujisaki-Okamoto implicit rejection step, breaking the IND-CCA2 security proof for post-quantum key exchange on that architecture. This affects any ARM64 deployment of wolfSSL with ML-KEM (FIPS 203) compiled in and in active use. An attacker who can submit adaptively chosen ciphertexts to a decapsulating party - for example via man-in-the-middle position during a post-quantum TLS handshake - may exploit the broken comparison to bypass implicit rejection, potentially enabling shared-secret recovery through repeated adaptive queries. No public exploit has been identified and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV at time of analysis.
HMAC tag forgery in wolfSSL's OpenSSL-compatibility layer allows a zero-length or arbitrarily truncated HMAC tag to pass verification in EVP_DigestVerifyFinal, undermining message authentication for any application relying on this API path. Applications compiled with the OPENSSL_EXTRA flag that use EVP_DigestVerifyFinal for HMAC verification - including JWT validation libraries and message authentication flows - are affected across all currently-known wolfSSL versions. The root length check only enforced that the supplied tag did not exceed the MAC size, not that it equaled it, so an attacker controlling the tag buffer or length argument could present an empty signature and bypass integrity verification. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and CISA KEV does not list this CVE.
wolfSSL's certificate chain verification accepted MD5-signed certificates when MD5 was compiled in for any purpose (e.g., TLS 1.0 PRF or HMAC), violating RFC 8446 compliance and the fundamental prohibition on broken hash algorithms in certificate signatures. An attacker with low-level positioning who can influence the certificate chain presented to a wolfSSL-based application could potentially bypass chain integrity checks by presenting an MD5-signed leaf certificate. No public exploit has been identified and no CISA KEV listing exists; the CVSS 4.0 score of 2.3 reflects the high complexity and constrained impact of realistic exploitation.
Certificate Revocation List processing in wolfSSL silently accepts CRLs containing unrecognized critical extensions rather than rejecting them as mandated by RFC 5280, constituting an improper certificate validation flaw (CWE-295). Affected are only wolfSSL builds explicitly compiled with CRL support (HAVE_CRL preprocessor flag) where the attacker can present a crafted CRL carrying a trusted CA signature - conditions that substantially limit the attack surface. An adversary satisfying these prerequisites could cause a revoked certificate to be treated as valid, enabling an authentication bypass. No public exploit has been identified and this CVE is absent from CISA KEV; the CVSS 4.0 score of 1.0 accurately reflects the extreme exploitation constraints.
Use-after-free in wolfSSL's TLS 1.3 PQC hybrid KeyShare processing exposes clients built with post-quantum hybrid support to a crash or memory corruption when connecting to a malicious server. This is a bypass of the incomplete fix for CVE-2026-5460 shipped in 5.9.1 - the pointer alias between keyShareEntry->key and ecc_kse->key in TLSX_KeyShare_ProcessPqcHybridClient is not re-synchronized after the inner ECC processing function frees its copy, leaving a dangling pointer that TLSX_KeyShare_FreeAll later passes to wc_ecc_free and XFREE. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing exists; the CVSS 4.0 score of 2.3 reflects limited real-world impact due to high attack complexity and non-default build requirements.
wolfSSL's x86_64 Curve25519 scalar multiplication yields a non-canonical shared secret when carry propagation overflows into bit 255 during final modular reduction, producing a result in [p, 2^255) rather than the required canonical range [0, p). Both the x64 and AVX2 hand-written assembly paths in fe_x25519_asm.S are affected, and only specific edge-case scalar/point combinations trigger the flaw. wolfSSL self-reported this correctness defect and published a fix via GitHub PR #10536; no public exploit exists and the vulnerability is absent from CISA KEV.
Cryptographic decapsulation flaw in wolfSSL's ML-KEM-1024 (Kyber) x86-64 AVX2 code path (versions 5.7.0 through 5.9.1) breaks IND-CCA2 security by failing to compare the final 32-byte block of the 1568-byte ciphertext during the constant-time check, so the Fujisaki-Okamoto transform's mandatory implicit rejection is bypassed. An attacker acting as a chosen-ciphertext oracle can submit ciphertexts altered only in those trailing bytes and have decapsulation return the genuine shared secret rather than a rejection value. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, the EPSS score is very low (0.15%, 5th percentile), and CISA SSVC rates exploitation as none with partial technical impact.
Integer underflow in wolfSSL's PKCS#7 ORI decryption path allows a local low-privileged attacker to cause incorrect length computation during EnvelopedData parsing, resulting in low-severity availability impact. Specifically, when the OID embedded inside an implicit `[4] CONSTRUCTED` Other Recipient Info sequence consumes more bytes than the field's declared length, the `word32` subtraction for `oriValueSz` wraps around to a near-maximal unsigned value, feeding corrupted length data to downstream decryption logic. No public exploit has been identified and no CISA KEV listing exists; exploitation requires local access, high complexity, and passive processing of crafted input by the target application.
Pre-authentication heap buffer overflow in wolfSSL 5.9.0 and earlier affects builds compiled with DTLS 1.3 support, where an integer truncation in the ACK record-number list length computation (Dtls13GetAckListLength using a word16) allocates an undersized buffer that is then overrun during ACK serialization. Because the flaw is reachable before the connecting peer is authenticated, a remote unauthenticated attacker can trigger memory corruption against a DTLS 1.3 endpoint, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.8 reflects primarily a high availability (crash/DoS) impact with limited integrity impact.
Buffer overflow in wolfSSL's PKCS#7 decoder (versions 5.9.0 and earlier) allows attackers with low-privilege account access on an adjacent network to corrupt memory by providing crafted encrypted messages to applications using undersized output buffers in wc_PKCS7_DecodeEncryptedData. Real-world exploitation is severely constrained by requirements for adjacent network access, low privilege, user interaction, and specific attack target conditions, resulting in minimal integrity impact with no availability or confidentiality effects. No public exploit code or active exploitation is known at the time of analysis.
X.509 DNS name constraint enforcement in wolfSSL fails to evaluate the Subject Common Name when no Subject Alternative Name extension is present, allowing a certificate whose CN violates an issuing CA's DNS name constraints to be accepted as valid. Affected deployments include any application using wolfSSL's certificate manager for chain verification where name-constrained intermediate or root CAs are in use. An attacker who can obtain or forge a certificate with a non-compliant CN and no SAN can bypass the policy boundary the constraining CA was intended to enforce, enabling impersonation of hosts outside the permitted domain set. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; upstream fix available as a GitHub pull request.
wolfSSL's certificate chain validation logic incorrectly evaluates wildcard DNS Subject Alternative Names (SANs) against CA-enforced name constraints, allowing certificates that should be rejected under a constrained PKI hierarchy to be silently accepted. Any wolfSSL-powered application that validates certificate chains in a PKI where intermediate or root CAs define permitted or excluded DNS name constraints per RFC 5280 §4.2.1.10 is affected; all versions matching cpe:2.3:a:wolfssl:wolfssl:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* are listed as affected. No active exploitation is confirmed (not in CISA KEV) and no public exploit code has been identified; an upstream patch is available via PR #10549 but a tagged release version has not been independently confirmed.
X.509 trust-chain bypass in wolfSSL's OpenSSL compatibility certificate verifier (wolfSSL_X509_verify_cert/X509_verify_cert) allows an attacker to have an attacker-controlled certificate accepted as valid by presenting a chain that never reaches a configured trust anchor. The flaw affects only builds compiled with --enable-opensslextra whose applications perform certificate validation via the OpenSSL-compat X509_verify_cert() API using caller-supplied untrusted intermediates; for those deployments it is critical (CVSS 4.0 base 8.7, integrity impact only). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not on CISA KEV, but an upstream fix is available via wolfSSL PR #10674.
Out-of-bounds heap read in wolfSSL's SM2/SM3 certificate parser exposes applications to remote denial of service when processing malformed certificates. During Subject Key Identifier computation in SM3wSM2 certificate verification, the library unconditionally reads 65 bytes from the public key field without first validating that the key is at least that long - a crafted certificate with a sub-65-byte public key triggers a heap over-read, crashing the process. This vulnerability is scoped exclusively to wolfSSL builds compiled with SM2 support (--enable-sm2 or --enable-all), and no public exploit or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis.
Remote denial of service in wolfSSL's Renesas TSIP TLS 1.3 client port (WOLFSSL_RENESAS_TSIP_TLS on Renesas MCUs with TSIP hardware) arises from an out-of-bounds heap write in tsip_StoreMessage(), where the capacity check guarding the fixed 8 KB message bag sets an error code but omits the return, letting execution fall through to an XMEMCPY that overruns the buffer once the accumulated handshake transcript exceeds 8 KB. A malicious or man-in-the-middle TLS 1.3 server (or an unusually large but legitimate certificate chain) can trigger heap corruption and crash the client. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, it is not on CISA KEV, and the upstream fix is available as wolfSSL PR #10705.
Certificate validation bypass in wolfSSL (builds compiled with HAVE_RPK) allows a peer to present an un-negotiated Raw Public Key (RFC 7250) in place of a full X.509 certificate, defeating chain-of-trust validation. Because a raw public key carries no certificate chain, ParseCertRelative() accepts it without performing any trust verification, so an attacker presenting a bare key can impersonate a server (or client) when neither side actually negotiated the RPK certificate type. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not in CISA KEV; the high CVSS (8.2, CVSS 4.0) reflects a full authentication/integrity bypass, but exploitation is gated by the non-default HAVE_RPK build option.
Certificate chain validation bypass in wolfSSL's OpenSSL-compatibility layer permits a crafted intermediate CA certificate asserting CA:TRUE but missing the keyCertSign key usage bit to be accepted as a valid signing CA during path building. Affected deployments are those compiled with OPENSSL_EXTRA or OPENSSL_ALL that use the X509_verify_cert/X509_STORE API; native wolfSSL verification is entirely unaffected. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no CISA KEV listing exists, but the integrity risk is concrete for any application relying on wolfSSL's OpenSSL-compat path for mutual TLS or client certificate authentication.
Certificate trust-chain bypass in wolfSSL allows attackers to have an attacker-controlled certificate accepted as valid, but only in builds compiled with --enable-opensslextra where the application calls the OpenSSL-compatibility X509_verify_cert() with caller-supplied untrusted intermediates. The verifier returned success based on the last verified link instead of confirming the chain reaches a configured trust anchor, so a chain deeper than the maximum path depth (default 100) is accepted without ever validating against a trusted root. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV; native wolfSSL TLS/DTLS and the default WOLFSSL_VERIFY_PEER handshake are unaffected.
Keystream reuse in wolfSSL's streaming AES-GCM API exposes ciphertext to partial plaintext recovery when a single session accumulates more than 64 GiB of data, violating NIST SP 800-38D counter limits due to unguarded internal counter wrap. All wolfSSL versions are affected per wildcard CPE (cpe:2.3:a:wolfssl:wolfssl:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), with the flaw present in both AES-GCM and AES-CCM streaming paths. Exploitation is constrained to local access with low privileges, high attack complexity, and the operationally unusual prerequisite of processing tens of gigabytes in a single uninterrupted streaming session; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Signature-verification bypass in wolfSSL's OpenSSL compatibility layer allows a degenerate (certs-only) PKCS#7 object - one with empty signerInfos and no actual signature - to be falsely reported as verified by wolfSSL_PKCS7_verify(). Applications using the PKCS7_verify() compat API to authenticate attacker-supplied PKCS#7/CMS bundles can be tricked into treating unsigned content as authentic, undermining integrity guarantees. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not in CISA KEV, but the underlying defect is a classic improper-signature-verification (CWE-347) issue with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.2.
Certificate chain validation bypass in wolfSSL's OpenSSL compatibility layer allows a network attacker to present a chain terminating at an untrusted intermediate they control, which is accepted as valid when X509_V_FLAG_PARTIAL_CHAIN is enabled. The flaw (CWE-295) resided in wolfSSL_X509_verify_cert, where the partial-chain fallback confirmed only that some intermediate was temporarily loaded into the CertManager during path building - not that the terminal certificate was in the caller's actual trust store. No public exploit code exists and no CISA KEV listing is present, but successful exploitation defeats certificate validation entirely, enabling impersonation or MITM in affected configurations.
wolfSSL's PKCS#7 EnvelopedData decryption leaks RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 padding validity through distinguishable error codes, enabling a classic Bleichenbacher-style padding oracle attack that allows incremental recovery of the Content Encryption Key (CEK). All wolfSSL versions using PKCS#7 Key Transport Recipient Info (KTRI) with RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 are affected when the decryption interface exposes caller-observable error differentiation. A low-privileged attacker able to submit crafted EnvelopedData messages and observe server error responses can mount an adaptive chosen-ciphertext attack to recover session keys without knowledge of the RSA private key; no public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Heap buffer overread in wolfSSL's PKCS7 EnvelopedData parser allows network-reachable attackers to trigger a low-impact availability disruption or potential memory disclosure by supplying a crafted S/MIME or CMS message. The root cause is a missing integer-overflow-safe bounds check before XMEMCPY calls in wc_PKCS7_DecodeEnvelopedData, wc_PKCS7_DecodeAuthEnvelopedData, and wc_PKCS7_DecodeEncryptedData - all three paths lacked validation that idx + encryptedContentSz does not exceed the input buffer. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and wolfSSL's own CVSS 4.0 vector classifies attack requirements as present (AT:P), meaning exploitation is not straightforwardly reliable.
Integer overflow in wolfSSL CMAC implementation (versions ≤5.9.0) enables zero-effort cryptographic forgery. The wc_CmacUpdate function uses a 32-bit counter (totalSz) that wraps to zero after processing 4 GiB of data, erroneously discarding live CBC-MAC chain state. Attackers can forge CMAC authentication tags by crafting messages with identical suffixes beyond the 4 GiB boundary, undermining message authentication integrity in unauthenticated network contexts. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Integer underflow in wolfSSL's ASN.1 certificate parser allows remote attackers to trigger information disclosure and potential memory access violations when processing malformed X.509 certificates with oversized Subject Alternative Name extensions. The vulnerability affects wolfSSL versions up to 5.9.0 but only impacts systems using the non-default original ASN.1 parsing implementation; no public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
Man-in-the-middle attackers can truncate AES-GCM authentication tags in wolfSSL's PKCS7 AuthEnvelopedData processing from 16 bytes to 1 byte, degrading cryptographic integrity verification from 2⁻¹²⁸ to 2⁻⁸ probability. Affects wolfSSL versions through 5.9.0 due to missing lower bounds validation in wc_PKCS7_DecodeAuthEnvelopedData(). Unauthenticated network-based attack enables high-severity integrity bypass without user interaction. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD decryption in wolfSSL's EVP layer bypasses authentication tag verification, allowing unauthenticated adjacent attackers to inject arbitrary ciphertext that is decrypted and returned as plaintext without cryptographic validation. Affects wolfSSL versions prior to 5.9.1. Applications using EVP API for ChaCha20-Poly1305 decryption receive potentially malicious plaintext, enabling man-in-the-middle attacks that compromise confidentiality and integrity of encrypted communications. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, low observed exploitation activity (EPSS <1%).
Heap use-after-free in wolfSSL's TLS 1.3 post-quantum cryptography hybrid KeyShare processing allows unauthenticated remote attackers to corrupt heap memory and potentially disclose information. The vulnerability occurs when TLSX_KeyShare_ProcessPqcHybridClient() error handling prematurely frees a KyberKey object in src/tls.c, and the caller's subsequent TLSX_KeyShare_FreeAll() invocation writes zero bytes to already-freed memory. CVSS 6.3 reflects low integrity and availability impact; exploitation requires precise network timing (AT:P). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the underlying use-after-free pattern is a known attack vector in memory-unsafe code.
wolfSSL versions before 5.9.1 contain a heap buffer overflow in the X.509 date parsing functions wolfSSL_X509_notAfter and wolfSSL_X509_notBefore when processing crafted certificates through the compatibility layer API. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 2.3 with attack vector requiring adjacent network access and persistence, affecting only direct API calls and not standard TLS or certificate verification operations. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at the time of analysis.
Buffer overflow in WolfSSL's TLSX_SNI_Write function allows remote unauthenticated attackers to corrupt memory by sending a specially crafted TLS ClientHello with ECH (Encrypted Client Hello) and SNI extension data. The vulnerability occurs when TLSX_EchChangeSNI unconditionally sets extensions even when no inner SNI is configured, causing attacker-controlled SNI data to be written 255 bytes beyond the allocated buffer boundary during ClientHello serialization. CVSS 6.9 indicates moderate integrity and availability impact with low attack complexity.
Stack buffer overflow in wolfSSL's PKCS7 implementation allows local attackers to cause a denial of service or potentially execute code by crafting a CMS EnvelopedData message with an oversized OID in an OtherRecipientInfo recipient structure. The vulnerability affects wolfSSL when compiled with --enable-pkcs7 (disabled by default) and only when an application explicitly registers an ORI decrypt callback, significantly limiting real-world exposure. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
Heap out-of-bounds read in wolfSSL versions prior to 5.9.1 allows unauthenticated attackers on an adjacent network to trigger information disclosure via a crafted PKCS7 message that bypasses bounds checking in the indefinite-length end-of-content verification loop. The vulnerability has a low CVSS score of 2.3 due to restricted attack vector (adjacent network only) and limited integrity impact, with no public exploit code identified at time of analysis.
Out-of-bounds read in wolfSSL's dual-algorithm CertificateVerify processing allows remote attackers to trigger information disclosure and data integrity violations through crafted input, but only when the library is compiled with both --enable-experimental and --enable-dual-alg-certs flags. The vulnerability affects wolfSSL versions before 5.9.1 and requires network access with low attack complexity, though the attack triggering mechanism involves a passive timing or state condition (AT:P). No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified.
wolfSSL versions up to 5.9.0 allow arbitrary memory deallocation via unsafe deserialization of poisoned session cache data. An attacker with high privileges who can inject a crafted session into the cache and trigger specific session restore API calls can cause memory corruption with availability impact. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed; the vulnerability requires precise conditions including local access, high privileges, and user interaction.
Integer underflow in wolfSSL's packet sniffer (versions up to 5.9.0) allows remote attackers to crash applications during AEAD decryption by sending malformed TLS Application Data records with insufficient length for the explicit IV and authentication tag. The vulnerability wraps a 16-bit length value to an unexpectedly large integer, triggering an out-of-bounds read in decryption routines. While the CVSS score is low (2.1) due to limited practical impact (availability only), the attack requires no victim interaction beyond network exposure and affects any system passively inspecting encrypted TLS traffic through wolfSSL's ssl_DecodePacket function.
Stack buffer over-read in wolfSSL's MatchDomainName function allows authenticated remote attackers to cause denial of service through a crafted wildcard hostname during TLS certificate validation when the LEFT_MOST_WILDCARD_ONLY flag is enabled. The vulnerability reads one byte past the allocated buffer when a wildcard character exhausts the entire hostname string, triggering a potential crash with very low real-world exploitation probability (EPSS and CVSS indicate limited practical risk).
Heap buffer overflow in wolfSSL DTLS 1.3 ACK message handler allows unauthenticated remote attackers to achieve integrity and availability impacts via crafted network packets. The vulnerability triggers memory corruption during ACK message processing in DTLS 1.3 sessions, enabling potential arbitrary code execution or denial of service. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though low observed exploitation activity noted.
wolfSSL's ARIA-GCM cipher suites in TLS 1.2 and DTLS 1.2 reuse an identical 12-byte nonce for every encrypted application-data record, enabling plaintext recovery through cryptanalytic attacks. This vulnerability affects only non-FIPS builds explicitly configured with --enable-aria and the proprietary MagicCrypto SDK (opt-in for Korean regulatory compliance). Authenticated remote attackers can exploit this to recover encrypted data, though AES-GCM implementations in the same product are unaffected due to independent invocation counters. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
Certificate chain verification bypass in wolfSSL allows malicious intermediate CAs to violate URI nameConstraints. A compromised sub-CA with high-privilege access can issue leaf certificates containing URI Subject Alternative Name entries that breach parent CA nameConstraints restrictions. wolfSSL versions fail to enforce URI-based nameConstraints during chain validation in wolfcrypt/src/asn.c, accepting invalid certificates as legitimate. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. Attack complexity rated low but requires privileged issuer access.
Heap buffer overflow in wolfSSL's CertFromX509 function allows remote attackers to cause information disclosure through malformed X.509 certificates containing oversized AuthorityKeyIdentifier extensions. The vulnerability requires a persistent attacker (AT:P per CVSS 4.0) but no authentication, affecting wolfSSL across all versions until patched. EPSS exploitation probability and active exploitation status cannot be determined from available data; no public exploit code has been independently confirmed.
Heap out-of-bounds write in wolfSSL's DecodeObjectId() function in wolfcrypt/src/asn.c allows authenticated remote attackers to trigger memory corruption through two distinct mechanisms: insufficient bounds checking when outSz equals 1, and confusion between buffer byte size and element count across multiple callers, permitting crafted OIDs with 33+ arcs to overflow a 32-arc buffer. CVSS 2.3 reflects low impact (data modification only, no confidentiality loss), but the vulnerability affects cryptographic certificate and message parsing across all wolfSSL versions up to 5.9.0. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
1-byte OOB heap read in wc_PKCS7_DecodeEnvelopedData via zero-length encrypted content.
CVE-2026-3230 is a security vulnerability (CVSS 1.2). Remediation should follow standard vulnerability management procedures.
Stack buffer overflow in wolfSSL 5.8.4's ECH (Encrypted Client Hello) implementation allows remote attackers to crash TLS clients or achieve code execution by sending a maliciously crafted ECH configuration. The vulnerability affects clients that have explicitly enabled ECH support, which is disabled by default. An attacker controlling a TLS server can exploit this remotely without authentication or user interaction.
Integer underflow in TLS 1.3 ECH (Encrypted Client Hello) extension parsing within wolfSSL allows remote attackers to trigger heap buffer overflow conditions with availability impact through specially crafted network packets. While ECH is disabled by default in wolfSSL and the specification remains unstable, exploitation requires no authentication and succeeds under specific timing conditions. No patch is currently available for this vulnerability.
CVE-2026-3580 is a security vulnerability (CVSS 4.7). Remediation should follow standard vulnerability management procedures.
CVE-2026-3579 is a security vulnerability (CVSS 5.9). Remediation should follow standard vulnerability management procedures.
Buffer overflow vulnerabilities in wolfSSL's CRL parser enable heap and stack memory corruption when processing maliciously crafted Certificate Revocation Lists, allowing potential code execution on affected systems. This vulnerability only impacts installations with explicit CRL support enabled that load CRLs from untrusted sources. No patch is currently available.
Heap buffer overflow in wolfSSL's session deserialization function allows local attackers with low privileges to corrupt heap memory by crafting malicious session data with invalid certificate lengths. The vulnerability affects systems with SESSION_CERTS enabled that load external session data, requiring user interaction or specific configuration to exploit. No patch is currently available.
Integer underflow in wolfSSL packet sniffer <= 5.8.4 allows an attacker to cause a buffer overflow in the AEAD decryption path by injecting a TLS record shorter than the explicit IV plus authentication tag into traffic inspected by ssl_DecodePacket.

If a TLS 1.3 client gets neither a PSK (pre shared key) extension nor a KSE (key share extension) when connecting to a malicious server, a default predictable buffer gets used for the IKM (Input. Rated high severity (CVSS 8.8), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, low attack complexity.
In wolfSSL before 5.5.2, if callback functions are enabled (via the WOLFSSL_CALLBACKS flag), then a malicious TLS 1.3 client or network attacker can trigger a buffer over-read on the heap of 5 bytes. Rated critical severity (CVSS 9.1), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.

wolfSSL before 4.8.1 incorrectly skips OCSP verification in certain situations of irrelevant response data that contains the NoCheck extension. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.9), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required.
wolfSSL 4.6.x through 4.7.x before 4.8.0 does not produce a failure outcome when the serial number in an OCSP request differs from the serial number in the OCSP response. Rated critical severity (CVSS 9.8), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity.

An issue was discovered in wolfSSL before 4.5.0, when single precision is not employed. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.0). Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
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. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the upstream fix is available as GitHub PR #10203 and the vulnerability is straightforwardly reproducible by anyone familiar with PKCS#7 certificate bundle structure.
Certificate IP address name constraint enforcement in wolfSSL is silently disabled when the library is compiled without the WOLFSSL_IP_ALT_NAME preprocessor define, allowing a CA operator to issue certificates bearing IP address Subject Alternative Names that the issuing CA's nameConstraints extension was intended to prohibit. Any wolfSSL-based TLS endpoint built in this configuration will accept these constraint-violating certificates as valid, undermining PKI-enforced IP address restrictions. No public exploit has been identified and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV; the CVSS 4.0 score of 5.7 reflects meaningful exploitation constraints including high-privilege CA access and a specific non-default build configuration.
MAC forgery in wolfSSL 5.9.0 and later allows an attacker to authenticate arbitrary tampered messages when HMAC-BLAKE2 is used with keys exceeding the BLAKE2 block size. The wc_Blake2bHmacFinal and wc_Blake2sHmacFinal functions incorrectly reused the running message hash state to process oversized keys, discarding accumulated message data and producing a MAC that depends solely on the key, not the message. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the integrity failure is straightforward to exploit in any protocol or application that uses wolfSSL HMAC-BLAKE2 with keys longer than 128 bytes (BLAKE2b) or 64 bytes (BLAKE2s).
OCSP certificate status lookup in wolfSSL returns the wrong certificate's revocation status when a same-issuer SingleResponse serial number is a byte-prefix of the requested certificate's serial. The `wolfSSL_OCSP_resp_find_status` function in `src/ocsp.c` compared serial bytes via XMEMCMP without first verifying that both serial lengths are equal, allowing a 2-byte serial `01:02` in an OCSP response to satisfy a lookup for a 3-byte certificate serial `01:02:03`. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the integrity consequence is concrete: a revoked certificate could be incorrectly reported as valid if an attacker can supply a crafted OCSP response.
Session authentication bypass in wolfSSL exposes servers running multiple TLS virtual hosts to cross-vhost peer-authentication spoofing via stateful session-ID resumption. When a client resumes a cached session using a session ID rather than a session ticket, wolfSSL previously skipped the SNI and ALPN binding verification that was already enforced on the ticket-based resumption path - allowing the cached peerAuthGood state and peer-certificate context from one virtual host to be silently carried into a second virtual host with a different client-authentication policy. The upstream fix (PR #10489) extends the binding check to cover stateful resumption, declining mismatched resumptions and falling back to a full handshake. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS 4.0 score of 6.0 with AC:H and AT:P reflects the non-trivial configuration prerequisites.
Post-handshake authentication bypass in wolfSSL TLS 1.3 permits a connected client to skip certificate verification during server-initiated post-handshake re-authentication. When a server has issued a post-handshake CertificateRequest via wolfSSL_request_certificate(), a client can send a Finished message without providing a Certificate or CertificateVerify; the server incorrectly applies an initial-handshake exemption and accepts it, treating the client as authenticated. No public exploit is identified and this is not listed in CISA KEV; the vulnerability was self-disclosed by wolfSSL with a patch available in GitHub PR #10702.
wolfSSL's TLS 1.2 handshake logic silently downgrades Encrypt-then-MAC (ETM) to MAC-then-Encrypt when a client presents a stale session ID during a failed resumption attempt, affecting all builds compiled with HAVE_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC using CBC-mode cipher suites. This ETM extension silent-disable (CWE-757) exposes the downgraded connection to CBC-mode side-channel attacks such as Lucky Thirteen, exploitable by an adjacent-network attacker. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and no confirmed active exploitation; vendor patch is available upstream via PR #10167.
Out-of-bounds write in wolfSSL's SetSuitesHashSigAlgo function corrupts memory when an application passes an oversized signature algorithms list to the wolfSSL_CTX_set1_sigalgs_list or wolfSSL_set1_sigalgs_list APIs, writing past the end of the internal suites buffer (CWE-787). All wolfSSL versions prior to the bounds-check fix in PR #10204 are affected; the CVSS 4.0 score of 2.0 reflects a local-only vector, high complexity, and constrained impact limited to low integrity and availability degradation within the consuming process. No public exploit has been identified and this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, indicating no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis.
PKCS#12 MAC verification in wolfSSL accepts truncated or zero-length MACs because the comparison uses an attacker-controlled length field parsed from the input structure rather than the expected digest size, completely defeating HMAC integrity protection on PKCS#12 key stores. Any wolfSSL-based application that parses PKCS#12 files from untrusted sources - including certificate import endpoints, VPN provisioning services, or key management systems - can be tricked into accepting a structurally tampered PKCS#12 bundle as MAC-verified. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified; the upstream fix is available as GitHub PR #10192 but a tagged patched release has not been independently confirmed.
wolfSSL's ML-KEM ARM64 NEON decapsulation path compares only half of the re-encrypted ciphertext during the Fujisaki-Okamoto implicit rejection step, breaking the IND-CCA2 security proof for post-quantum key exchange on that architecture. This affects any ARM64 deployment of wolfSSL with ML-KEM (FIPS 203) compiled in and in active use. An attacker who can submit adaptively chosen ciphertexts to a decapsulating party - for example via man-in-the-middle position during a post-quantum TLS handshake - may exploit the broken comparison to bypass implicit rejection, potentially enabling shared-secret recovery through repeated adaptive queries. No public exploit has been identified and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV at time of analysis.
HMAC tag forgery in wolfSSL's OpenSSL-compatibility layer allows a zero-length or arbitrarily truncated HMAC tag to pass verification in EVP_DigestVerifyFinal, undermining message authentication for any application relying on this API path. Applications compiled with the OPENSSL_EXTRA flag that use EVP_DigestVerifyFinal for HMAC verification - including JWT validation libraries and message authentication flows - are affected across all currently-known wolfSSL versions. The root length check only enforced that the supplied tag did not exceed the MAC size, not that it equaled it, so an attacker controlling the tag buffer or length argument could present an empty signature and bypass integrity verification. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and CISA KEV does not list this CVE.
wolfSSL's certificate chain verification accepted MD5-signed certificates when MD5 was compiled in for any purpose (e.g., TLS 1.0 PRF or HMAC), violating RFC 8446 compliance and the fundamental prohibition on broken hash algorithms in certificate signatures. An attacker with low-level positioning who can influence the certificate chain presented to a wolfSSL-based application could potentially bypass chain integrity checks by presenting an MD5-signed leaf certificate. No public exploit has been identified and no CISA KEV listing exists; the CVSS 4.0 score of 2.3 reflects the high complexity and constrained impact of realistic exploitation.
Certificate Revocation List processing in wolfSSL silently accepts CRLs containing unrecognized critical extensions rather than rejecting them as mandated by RFC 5280, constituting an improper certificate validation flaw (CWE-295). Affected are only wolfSSL builds explicitly compiled with CRL support (HAVE_CRL preprocessor flag) where the attacker can present a crafted CRL carrying a trusted CA signature - conditions that substantially limit the attack surface. An adversary satisfying these prerequisites could cause a revoked certificate to be treated as valid, enabling an authentication bypass. No public exploit has been identified and this CVE is absent from CISA KEV; the CVSS 4.0 score of 1.0 accurately reflects the extreme exploitation constraints.
Use-after-free in wolfSSL's TLS 1.3 PQC hybrid KeyShare processing exposes clients built with post-quantum hybrid support to a crash or memory corruption when connecting to a malicious server. This is a bypass of the incomplete fix for CVE-2026-5460 shipped in 5.9.1 - the pointer alias between keyShareEntry->key and ecc_kse->key in TLSX_KeyShare_ProcessPqcHybridClient is not re-synchronized after the inner ECC processing function frees its copy, leaving a dangling pointer that TLSX_KeyShare_FreeAll later passes to wc_ecc_free and XFREE. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing exists; the CVSS 4.0 score of 2.3 reflects limited real-world impact due to high attack complexity and non-default build requirements.
wolfSSL's x86_64 Curve25519 scalar multiplication yields a non-canonical shared secret when carry propagation overflows into bit 255 during final modular reduction, producing a result in [p, 2^255) rather than the required canonical range [0, p). Both the x64 and AVX2 hand-written assembly paths in fe_x25519_asm.S are affected, and only specific edge-case scalar/point combinations trigger the flaw. wolfSSL self-reported this correctness defect and published a fix via GitHub PR #10536; no public exploit exists and the vulnerability is absent from CISA KEV.
Cryptographic decapsulation flaw in wolfSSL's ML-KEM-1024 (Kyber) x86-64 AVX2 code path (versions 5.7.0 through 5.9.1) breaks IND-CCA2 security by failing to compare the final 32-byte block of the 1568-byte ciphertext during the constant-time check, so the Fujisaki-Okamoto transform's mandatory implicit rejection is bypassed. An attacker acting as a chosen-ciphertext oracle can submit ciphertexts altered only in those trailing bytes and have decapsulation return the genuine shared secret rather than a rejection value. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, the EPSS score is very low (0.15%, 5th percentile), and CISA SSVC rates exploitation as none with partial technical impact.
Integer underflow in wolfSSL's PKCS#7 ORI decryption path allows a local low-privileged attacker to cause incorrect length computation during EnvelopedData parsing, resulting in low-severity availability impact. Specifically, when the OID embedded inside an implicit `[4] CONSTRUCTED` Other Recipient Info sequence consumes more bytes than the field's declared length, the `word32` subtraction for `oriValueSz` wraps around to a near-maximal unsigned value, feeding corrupted length data to downstream decryption logic. No public exploit has been identified and no CISA KEV listing exists; exploitation requires local access, high complexity, and passive processing of crafted input by the target application.
Pre-authentication heap buffer overflow in wolfSSL 5.9.0 and earlier affects builds compiled with DTLS 1.3 support, where an integer truncation in the ACK record-number list length computation (Dtls13GetAckListLength using a word16) allocates an undersized buffer that is then overrun during ACK serialization. Because the flaw is reachable before the connecting peer is authenticated, a remote unauthenticated attacker can trigger memory corruption against a DTLS 1.3 endpoint, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.8 reflects primarily a high availability (crash/DoS) impact with limited integrity impact.
Buffer overflow in wolfSSL's PKCS#7 decoder (versions 5.9.0 and earlier) allows attackers with low-privilege account access on an adjacent network to corrupt memory by providing crafted encrypted messages to applications using undersized output buffers in wc_PKCS7_DecodeEncryptedData. Real-world exploitation is severely constrained by requirements for adjacent network access, low privilege, user interaction, and specific attack target conditions, resulting in minimal integrity impact with no availability or confidentiality effects. No public exploit code or active exploitation is known at the time of analysis.
X.509 DNS name constraint enforcement in wolfSSL fails to evaluate the Subject Common Name when no Subject Alternative Name extension is present, allowing a certificate whose CN violates an issuing CA's DNS name constraints to be accepted as valid. Affected deployments include any application using wolfSSL's certificate manager for chain verification where name-constrained intermediate or root CAs are in use. An attacker who can obtain or forge a certificate with a non-compliant CN and no SAN can bypass the policy boundary the constraining CA was intended to enforce, enabling impersonation of hosts outside the permitted domain set. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; upstream fix available as a GitHub pull request.
wolfSSL's certificate chain validation logic incorrectly evaluates wildcard DNS Subject Alternative Names (SANs) against CA-enforced name constraints, allowing certificates that should be rejected under a constrained PKI hierarchy to be silently accepted. Any wolfSSL-powered application that validates certificate chains in a PKI where intermediate or root CAs define permitted or excluded DNS name constraints per RFC 5280 §4.2.1.10 is affected; all versions matching cpe:2.3:a:wolfssl:wolfssl:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* are listed as affected. No active exploitation is confirmed (not in CISA KEV) and no public exploit code has been identified; an upstream patch is available via PR #10549 but a tagged release version has not been independently confirmed.
X.509 trust-chain bypass in wolfSSL's OpenSSL compatibility certificate verifier (wolfSSL_X509_verify_cert/X509_verify_cert) allows an attacker to have an attacker-controlled certificate accepted as valid by presenting a chain that never reaches a configured trust anchor. The flaw affects only builds compiled with --enable-opensslextra whose applications perform certificate validation via the OpenSSL-compat X509_verify_cert() API using caller-supplied untrusted intermediates; for those deployments it is critical (CVSS 4.0 base 8.7, integrity impact only). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not on CISA KEV, but an upstream fix is available via wolfSSL PR #10674.
Out-of-bounds heap read in wolfSSL's SM2/SM3 certificate parser exposes applications to remote denial of service when processing malformed certificates. During Subject Key Identifier computation in SM3wSM2 certificate verification, the library unconditionally reads 65 bytes from the public key field without first validating that the key is at least that long - a crafted certificate with a sub-65-byte public key triggers a heap over-read, crashing the process. This vulnerability is scoped exclusively to wolfSSL builds compiled with SM2 support (--enable-sm2 or --enable-all), and no public exploit or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis.
Remote denial of service in wolfSSL's Renesas TSIP TLS 1.3 client port (WOLFSSL_RENESAS_TSIP_TLS on Renesas MCUs with TSIP hardware) arises from an out-of-bounds heap write in tsip_StoreMessage(), where the capacity check guarding the fixed 8 KB message bag sets an error code but omits the return, letting execution fall through to an XMEMCPY that overruns the buffer once the accumulated handshake transcript exceeds 8 KB. A malicious or man-in-the-middle TLS 1.3 server (or an unusually large but legitimate certificate chain) can trigger heap corruption and crash the client. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, it is not on CISA KEV, and the upstream fix is available as wolfSSL PR #10705.
Certificate validation bypass in wolfSSL (builds compiled with HAVE_RPK) allows a peer to present an un-negotiated Raw Public Key (RFC 7250) in place of a full X.509 certificate, defeating chain-of-trust validation. Because a raw public key carries no certificate chain, ParseCertRelative() accepts it without performing any trust verification, so an attacker presenting a bare key can impersonate a server (or client) when neither side actually negotiated the RPK certificate type. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not in CISA KEV; the high CVSS (8.2, CVSS 4.0) reflects a full authentication/integrity bypass, but exploitation is gated by the non-default HAVE_RPK build option.
Certificate chain validation bypass in wolfSSL's OpenSSL-compatibility layer permits a crafted intermediate CA certificate asserting CA:TRUE but missing the keyCertSign key usage bit to be accepted as a valid signing CA during path building. Affected deployments are those compiled with OPENSSL_EXTRA or OPENSSL_ALL that use the X509_verify_cert/X509_STORE API; native wolfSSL verification is entirely unaffected. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no CISA KEV listing exists, but the integrity risk is concrete for any application relying on wolfSSL's OpenSSL-compat path for mutual TLS or client certificate authentication.
Certificate trust-chain bypass in wolfSSL allows attackers to have an attacker-controlled certificate accepted as valid, but only in builds compiled with --enable-opensslextra where the application calls the OpenSSL-compatibility X509_verify_cert() with caller-supplied untrusted intermediates. The verifier returned success based on the last verified link instead of confirming the chain reaches a configured trust anchor, so a chain deeper than the maximum path depth (default 100) is accepted without ever validating against a trusted root. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV; native wolfSSL TLS/DTLS and the default WOLFSSL_VERIFY_PEER handshake are unaffected.
Keystream reuse in wolfSSL's streaming AES-GCM API exposes ciphertext to partial plaintext recovery when a single session accumulates more than 64 GiB of data, violating NIST SP 800-38D counter limits due to unguarded internal counter wrap. All wolfSSL versions are affected per wildcard CPE (cpe:2.3:a:wolfssl:wolfssl:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), with the flaw present in both AES-GCM and AES-CCM streaming paths. Exploitation is constrained to local access with low privileges, high attack complexity, and the operationally unusual prerequisite of processing tens of gigabytes in a single uninterrupted streaming session; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Signature-verification bypass in wolfSSL's OpenSSL compatibility layer allows a degenerate (certs-only) PKCS#7 object - one with empty signerInfos and no actual signature - to be falsely reported as verified by wolfSSL_PKCS7_verify(). Applications using the PKCS7_verify() compat API to authenticate attacker-supplied PKCS#7/CMS bundles can be tricked into treating unsigned content as authentic, undermining integrity guarantees. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not in CISA KEV, but the underlying defect is a classic improper-signature-verification (CWE-347) issue with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.2.
Certificate chain validation bypass in wolfSSL's OpenSSL compatibility layer allows a network attacker to present a chain terminating at an untrusted intermediate they control, which is accepted as valid when X509_V_FLAG_PARTIAL_CHAIN is enabled. The flaw (CWE-295) resided in wolfSSL_X509_verify_cert, where the partial-chain fallback confirmed only that some intermediate was temporarily loaded into the CertManager during path building - not that the terminal certificate was in the caller's actual trust store. No public exploit code exists and no CISA KEV listing is present, but successful exploitation defeats certificate validation entirely, enabling impersonation or MITM in affected configurations.
wolfSSL's PKCS#7 EnvelopedData decryption leaks RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 padding validity through distinguishable error codes, enabling a classic Bleichenbacher-style padding oracle attack that allows incremental recovery of the Content Encryption Key (CEK). All wolfSSL versions using PKCS#7 Key Transport Recipient Info (KTRI) with RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 are affected when the decryption interface exposes caller-observable error differentiation. A low-privileged attacker able to submit crafted EnvelopedData messages and observe server error responses can mount an adaptive chosen-ciphertext attack to recover session keys without knowledge of the RSA private key; no public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Heap buffer overread in wolfSSL's PKCS7 EnvelopedData parser allows network-reachable attackers to trigger a low-impact availability disruption or potential memory disclosure by supplying a crafted S/MIME or CMS message. The root cause is a missing integer-overflow-safe bounds check before XMEMCPY calls in wc_PKCS7_DecodeEnvelopedData, wc_PKCS7_DecodeAuthEnvelopedData, and wc_PKCS7_DecodeEncryptedData - all three paths lacked validation that idx + encryptedContentSz does not exceed the input buffer. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and wolfSSL's own CVSS 4.0 vector classifies attack requirements as present (AT:P), meaning exploitation is not straightforwardly reliable.
Integer overflow in wolfSSL CMAC implementation (versions ≤5.9.0) enables zero-effort cryptographic forgery. The wc_CmacUpdate function uses a 32-bit counter (totalSz) that wraps to zero after processing 4 GiB of data, erroneously discarding live CBC-MAC chain state. Attackers can forge CMAC authentication tags by crafting messages with identical suffixes beyond the 4 GiB boundary, undermining message authentication integrity in unauthenticated network contexts. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Integer underflow in wolfSSL's ASN.1 certificate parser allows remote attackers to trigger information disclosure and potential memory access violations when processing malformed X.509 certificates with oversized Subject Alternative Name extensions. The vulnerability affects wolfSSL versions up to 5.9.0 but only impacts systems using the non-default original ASN.1 parsing implementation; no public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
Man-in-the-middle attackers can truncate AES-GCM authentication tags in wolfSSL's PKCS7 AuthEnvelopedData processing from 16 bytes to 1 byte, degrading cryptographic integrity verification from 2⁻¹²⁸ to 2⁻⁸ probability. Affects wolfSSL versions through 5.9.0 due to missing lower bounds validation in wc_PKCS7_DecodeAuthEnvelopedData(). Unauthenticated network-based attack enables high-severity integrity bypass without user interaction. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD decryption in wolfSSL's EVP layer bypasses authentication tag verification, allowing unauthenticated adjacent attackers to inject arbitrary ciphertext that is decrypted and returned as plaintext without cryptographic validation. Affects wolfSSL versions prior to 5.9.1. Applications using EVP API for ChaCha20-Poly1305 decryption receive potentially malicious plaintext, enabling man-in-the-middle attacks that compromise confidentiality and integrity of encrypted communications. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, low observed exploitation activity (EPSS <1%).
Heap use-after-free in wolfSSL's TLS 1.3 post-quantum cryptography hybrid KeyShare processing allows unauthenticated remote attackers to corrupt heap memory and potentially disclose information. The vulnerability occurs when TLSX_KeyShare_ProcessPqcHybridClient() error handling prematurely frees a KyberKey object in src/tls.c, and the caller's subsequent TLSX_KeyShare_FreeAll() invocation writes zero bytes to already-freed memory. CVSS 6.3 reflects low integrity and availability impact; exploitation requires precise network timing (AT:P). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the underlying use-after-free pattern is a known attack vector in memory-unsafe code.
wolfSSL versions before 5.9.1 contain a heap buffer overflow in the X.509 date parsing functions wolfSSL_X509_notAfter and wolfSSL_X509_notBefore when processing crafted certificates through the compatibility layer API. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 2.3 with attack vector requiring adjacent network access and persistence, affecting only direct API calls and not standard TLS or certificate verification operations. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at the time of analysis.
Buffer overflow in WolfSSL's TLSX_SNI_Write function allows remote unauthenticated attackers to corrupt memory by sending a specially crafted TLS ClientHello with ECH (Encrypted Client Hello) and SNI extension data. The vulnerability occurs when TLSX_EchChangeSNI unconditionally sets extensions even when no inner SNI is configured, causing attacker-controlled SNI data to be written 255 bytes beyond the allocated buffer boundary during ClientHello serialization. CVSS 6.9 indicates moderate integrity and availability impact with low attack complexity.
Stack buffer overflow in wolfSSL's PKCS7 implementation allows local attackers to cause a denial of service or potentially execute code by crafting a CMS EnvelopedData message with an oversized OID in an OtherRecipientInfo recipient structure. The vulnerability affects wolfSSL when compiled with --enable-pkcs7 (disabled by default) and only when an application explicitly registers an ORI decrypt callback, significantly limiting real-world exposure. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
Heap out-of-bounds read in wolfSSL versions prior to 5.9.1 allows unauthenticated attackers on an adjacent network to trigger information disclosure via a crafted PKCS7 message that bypasses bounds checking in the indefinite-length end-of-content verification loop. The vulnerability has a low CVSS score of 2.3 due to restricted attack vector (adjacent network only) and limited integrity impact, with no public exploit code identified at time of analysis.
Out-of-bounds read in wolfSSL's dual-algorithm CertificateVerify processing allows remote attackers to trigger information disclosure and data integrity violations through crafted input, but only when the library is compiled with both --enable-experimental and --enable-dual-alg-certs flags. The vulnerability affects wolfSSL versions before 5.9.1 and requires network access with low attack complexity, though the attack triggering mechanism involves a passive timing or state condition (AT:P). No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified.
wolfSSL versions up to 5.9.0 allow arbitrary memory deallocation via unsafe deserialization of poisoned session cache data. An attacker with high privileges who can inject a crafted session into the cache and trigger specific session restore API calls can cause memory corruption with availability impact. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed; the vulnerability requires precise conditions including local access, high privileges, and user interaction.
Integer underflow in wolfSSL's packet sniffer (versions up to 5.9.0) allows remote attackers to crash applications during AEAD decryption by sending malformed TLS Application Data records with insufficient length for the explicit IV and authentication tag. The vulnerability wraps a 16-bit length value to an unexpectedly large integer, triggering an out-of-bounds read in decryption routines. While the CVSS score is low (2.1) due to limited practical impact (availability only), the attack requires no victim interaction beyond network exposure and affects any system passively inspecting encrypted TLS traffic through wolfSSL's ssl_DecodePacket function.
Stack buffer over-read in wolfSSL's MatchDomainName function allows authenticated remote attackers to cause denial of service through a crafted wildcard hostname during TLS certificate validation when the LEFT_MOST_WILDCARD_ONLY flag is enabled. The vulnerability reads one byte past the allocated buffer when a wildcard character exhausts the entire hostname string, triggering a potential crash with very low real-world exploitation probability (EPSS and CVSS indicate limited practical risk).
Heap buffer overflow in wolfSSL DTLS 1.3 ACK message handler allows unauthenticated remote attackers to achieve integrity and availability impacts via crafted network packets. The vulnerability triggers memory corruption during ACK message processing in DTLS 1.3 sessions, enabling potential arbitrary code execution or denial of service. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though low observed exploitation activity noted.
wolfSSL's ARIA-GCM cipher suites in TLS 1.2 and DTLS 1.2 reuse an identical 12-byte nonce for every encrypted application-data record, enabling plaintext recovery through cryptanalytic attacks. This vulnerability affects only non-FIPS builds explicitly configured with --enable-aria and the proprietary MagicCrypto SDK (opt-in for Korean regulatory compliance). Authenticated remote attackers can exploit this to recover encrypted data, though AES-GCM implementations in the same product are unaffected due to independent invocation counters. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
Certificate chain verification bypass in wolfSSL allows malicious intermediate CAs to violate URI nameConstraints. A compromised sub-CA with high-privilege access can issue leaf certificates containing URI Subject Alternative Name entries that breach parent CA nameConstraints restrictions. wolfSSL versions fail to enforce URI-based nameConstraints during chain validation in wolfcrypt/src/asn.c, accepting invalid certificates as legitimate. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. Attack complexity rated low but requires privileged issuer access.
Heap buffer overflow in wolfSSL's CertFromX509 function allows remote attackers to cause information disclosure through malformed X.509 certificates containing oversized AuthorityKeyIdentifier extensions. The vulnerability requires a persistent attacker (AT:P per CVSS 4.0) but no authentication, affecting wolfSSL across all versions until patched. EPSS exploitation probability and active exploitation status cannot be determined from available data; no public exploit code has been independently confirmed.
Heap out-of-bounds write in wolfSSL's DecodeObjectId() function in wolfcrypt/src/asn.c allows authenticated remote attackers to trigger memory corruption through two distinct mechanisms: insufficient bounds checking when outSz equals 1, and confusion between buffer byte size and element count across multiple callers, permitting crafted OIDs with 33+ arcs to overflow a 32-arc buffer. CVSS 2.3 reflects low impact (data modification only, no confidentiality loss), but the vulnerability affects cryptographic certificate and message parsing across all wolfSSL versions up to 5.9.0. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
