Launch Week Day 1: Announcing Security Design Review

Case-sensitive excludedSubtrees name constraints cause Auth Bypass in crypto/x509

GO-2026-4866 · BIT-golang-2026-33810 · CVE-2026-33810

Published · Modified

Description

When verifying a certificate chain containing excluded DNS constraints, these constraints are not correctly applied to wildcard DNS SANs which use a different case than the constraint.

This only affects validation of otherwise trusted certificate chains, issued by a root CA in the VerifyOptions.Roots CertPool, or in the system certificate pool.
