An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-55964 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Wolfssl Wolfssl. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-55964/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-55964/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-55964","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-55964/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-55964","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-55964","GHSA-68g3-7fhp-7rg3","JLSEC-2026-738","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-55964"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"TLS/SSL library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass certificate validation checks in wolfSSL's OpenSSL compatibility mode by using intermediate CAs lacking keyCertSign, potentially enabling man-in-the-middle attacks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"wolfSSL","cpe":[{"product":"wolfssl","vendor":"wolfssl"}],"cvss":{"score":6.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-295","name":"Improper Certificate Validation"}],"description":"Chain intermediate CA:TRUE without keyCertSign accepted as a signing CA. Intermediate CA certificates are required to have the keyCertSign key usage when a Key Usage extension is present, but chain-supplied temporary CAs (WOLFSSL_TEMP_CA) added while building a certificate path were previously exempted from this check, so an intermediate asserting CA:TRUE but lacking keyCertSign was accepted as a signing CA. The check now applies to chain-supplied temporary CAs as well; only operator-loaded root certificates (WOLFSSL_USER_CA) and self-signed roots remain exempt. Per RFC 5280 an absent Key Usage extension implies all usages, so the requirement is enforced only when the extension is actually present (extKeyUsageSet). Affects the OpenSSL-compatibility certificate-path-building path (X509_verify_cert / X509_STORE, OPENSSL_EXTRA/OPENSSL_ALL), where untrusted chain intermediates are added as temporary CAs; native (non-OpenSSL-compat) certificate verification does not create temporary CAs and is unaffected. Within those builds, the check applies unless ALLOW_INVALID_CERTSIGN is defined.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Chain intermediate CA:TRUE without keyCertSign accepted as a signing CA (temporary CA exemption)","id":"CVE-2026-55964","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"wolfssl:wolfssl","products":["wolfssl:wolfssl"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"AES-GCM streaming APIs do not reject \u003e64 GiB cumulative single messages, enabling counter wrap and keystream reuse","id":"CVE-2026-55967"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"TLS 1.3 post-handshake authentication: server accepts Finished without client Certificate/CertificateVerify","id":"CVE-2026-55962"},"products":["wolfSSL"],"published":"2026-06-25","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Buffer overread in domain name matching","id":"CVE-2024-5991","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-37155","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-36177","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-01-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-2896","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-28"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-2897","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-28"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-2898","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-28"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-16748","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-09-24"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-06-26","vendors":["wolfSSL"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass certificate validation checks in wolfSSL's OpenSSL compatibility mode by using intermediate CAs lacking keyCertSign, potentially enabling man-in-the-middle attacks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-55964/"}
