CVE-2026-34073

CVSS v3.1

5.3

Medium

VectorAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions cryptography versions prior to 46.0.5
Description Versions of cryptography before 46.0.5 had a flaw in how DNS name constraints were validated. The validation only checked against Subject Alternative Names (SANs) in child certificates, not the peer name presented during validation. This allowed a peer name like bar.example.com to be accepted by a wildcard leaf certificate for *.example.com, even if a parent certificate excluded bar.example.com. This occurred because of differing interpretations between RFC 5280 and RFC 9525 regarding the application of Name Constraints to peer names.
Recommendations Upgrade to version 46.0.6 or newer.
