CVE-2026-102759
NetX Secure TLS accepts an empty application-data record without verifying its message authentication code.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.16%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
NetX Secure TLS accepts an empty application-data record without verifying its message authentication code. In `_nx_secure_verify_mac`, a decrypted application record whose length equals the negotiated MAC size is treated as valid and returns success after advancing the receive sequence number. The received MAC is never generated or compared. Empty TLS application-data records are legal, and are commonly emitted by TLS 1.0 implementations as a BEAST mitigation.
