apple native validation

About this tag
The tag apple native validation on WindowsForum.com covers a specific high-severity cryptographic vulnerability (CVE-2025-7395) in the wolfSSL library. When wolfSSL is built with system CA usage and Apple native validation enabled, the Apple-native verification routine can override wolfSSL's internal checks, including hostname/SNI checks, OCSP/CRL validation, and other chain errors. This allows a malicious or misconfigured server to present a certificate issued by a trusted Certificate Authority and have it accepted for any hostname. The tag focuses on this certificate-validation bypass and its implications for security, particularly in environments using wolfSSL with Apple native validation.
