CVE-2026-7532
5.7MEDIUM
What is CVE-2026-7532?
This vulnerability in WolfSSL occurs when the IP address name constraints are not enforced due to the configuration setting WOLFSSL_IP_ALT_NAME not being defined. As a result, it allows certificates to bypass the issuing Certificate Authority’s IP address constraints, potentially leading to security risks where unauthorized certificates can be accepted for validation. Users should ensure configurations are appropriately set to maintain security standards and prevent exploitation.
