LOWCVSS 1.2/10EPSS 0.21%

Last modified

CVE-2026-3230 is a low-severity vulnerability rated 1.2/10 on the CVSS scale. Missing required cryptographic step in the TLS 1.3 client HelloRetryRequest handshake logic in wolfSSL could lead to a compromise in the confidentiality of TLS-protected communications via a crafted HelloRetryRequest followed by a ServerHello message that omits the required key_share extension, resulting in derivation of predictable traffic secrets from (EC)DHE shared secret. This issue does not affect the client's authentication of the server during TLS handshakes.. EPSS estimates a 0.21% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
