CVE-2026-5466
Last modified
CVE-2026-5466 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.1/10 on the CVSS scale. wolfSSL's ECCSI signature verifier `wc_VerifyEccsiHash` decodes the `r` and `s` scalars from the signature blob via `mp_read_unsigned_bin` with no check that they lie in `[1, q-1]`. A crafted forged signature could verify against any message for any identity, using only publicly-known constants.. EPSS estimates a 0.15% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
