tls certificate bypass

The tag 'tls certificate bypass' covers vulnerabilities and techniques that allow attackers to circumvent TLS certificate validation, leading to unauthorized trust in malicious or misconfigured servers. A prominent example discussed on WindowsForum is CVE-2025-7395, a high-severity flaw in wolfSSL where Apple-native certificate validation can override internal checks like hostname verification, OCSP/CRL validation, and chain errors. This bypass enables a server with a certificate from a trusted CA to be accepted for any hostname, undermining TLS security. Discussions focus on cryptographic verification failures, the interaction between native platform validation and library-level checks, and the implications for secure communications in software using wolfSSL on Apple systems.
