Last modified

CVE-2026-33810 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.2/10 on the CVSS scale. When verifying a certificate chain containing excluded DNS constraints, these constraints are not correctly applied to wildcard DNS SANs which use a different case than the constraint. This only affects validation of otherwise trusted certificate chains, issued by a root CA in the VerifyOptions.Roots CertPool, or in the system certificate pool.. EPSS estimates a 0.26% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
