CVE-2026-40944
Last modified
CVE-2026-40944 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.9/10 on the CVSS scale. Oxia is a metadata store and coordination system. Prior to 0.16.2, the trustedCertPool() function in the TLS configuration only parses the first PEM block from CA certificate files. EPSS estimates a 0.16% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
Oxia is a metadata store and coordination system. Prior to 0.16.2, the trustedCertPool() function in the TLS configuration only parses the first PEM block from CA certificate files. When a CA bundle contains multiple certificates (e.g., intermediate + root CA), only the first certificate is loaded. This silently breaks certificate chain validation for mTLS. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.16.2.
