CVE-2025-58188 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Validating certificate chains which contain DSA public keys can cause programs to panic, due to a interface cast that assumes they implement the Equal method. This affects programs which validate arbitrary certificate chains.. EPSS estimates a 0.34% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
