CVE-2026-82208
wolfSSL CA-cache hit overrides callback
- Published
- Updated
- Reserved
- Assigned by
- curl
Description
With the wolfSSL backend, when CA caching is enabled and an `CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION` callback replaces the trust store, libcurl can silently reinstall the cached store after the callback returns. A certificate trusted by the cached store but rejected by the callback-selected store is then incorrectly accepted.
Public exploit
An exploit or proof of concept is public: anyone can try it against an unpatched system. CISA's SSVC rates its exploitation: a proof of concept is public.
