About this tag
The certificateverify tag covers discussions about the CertificateVerify message in TLS handshakes, particularly security vulnerabilities that allow signature or digest downgrade attacks. Recent threads detail CVE-2025-11934, a flaw in wolfSSL TLS 1.3 where a server can negotiate a weaker ECDSA curve than the client preferred during CertificateVerify, and CVE-2025-12889, a TLS 1.2 bug letting a client choose a weaker message digest than requested during client-certificate authentication. Both were fixed in wolfSSL 5.8.4. These topics are relevant for developers and IT professionals managing TLS implementations and certificate-based authentication.
