This flaw enables authentication bypass and user impersonation: (1) in use-cases other than qualified certificate authentication, or (2) if the qualified certificate authentication use-case is not correctly implemented by the integrating application.

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.31%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

For untrusted certificates that contain the "Authority Information Access - caIssuers URI" extension, Szafir SDK will automatically download the parent CA certificate from the specified URL and will import it to its trust store as a "nonqualified" certificate. In such a case, Szafir SDK returns a success status code of 0 ("Positively verified") upon successful cryptographic verification and a certificate status of "nonqualified". For other types of untrusted certificates, Szafir SDK returns a success status code of 0 ("Positively verified") upon successful cryptographic verification and a certificate status of "nondetermined". This may lead integrating applications to incorrectly treat the digital signature as valid despite an untrusted certificate chain. This flaw enables authentication bypass and user impersonation: (1) in use-cases other than qualified certificate authentication, or (2) if the qualified certificate authentication use-case is not correctly implemented by the integrating application. This issue was fixed in version 1.8.463.2.
