Technical description

C-Kermit 8.0.200 before 11.1.515 contains an improper certificate validation vulnerability that allows machine-in-the-middle attackers to impersonate Telnet servers because ssl_reply() never calls ssl_check_server_name(). Attackers can refuse START-TLS, offer Telnet AUTHENTICATION SSL, and present any trusted CA certificate to capture user credentials and session data.

———C-Kermit 8.0.200 before 11.1.515 contains an improper certificate hostname validation vulnerability that allows attackers to impersonate hosts by abusing wildcard matching in dNSName_cmp() in ck_ssl.c. Attackers holding a trusted certificate with over-matching names containing asterisks, question marks, brackets, or empty labels can intercept credentials and data over Telnet, FTP, and HTTP TLS connections.4h CVE-2026-87758—

——0The remote EJB client does not verify that the hostname of the server it connects to matches the server's TLS certificate. An attacker able to intercept network traffic between an EJB client and server can impersonate the server and read or modify the traffic, including credentials and invocation data. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 10.3.0 or 11.0.0-M2, which fix the issue.1d CVE-2026-1238487.4 HIG

——2Wazuh from 3.9.0 before 4.14.9 contains a missing TLS hostname verification vulnerability in the fluent-forward module's wm_fluent_ssl_ctx() that allows network attackers to impersonate the Fluentd collector by presenting any certificate chaining to the configured ca_file. Attackers who redirect the connection via DNS, ARP, or on-path positions can receive forwarded security telemetry and the shared_key_hexdigest for offline cracking.3d CVE-2026-1094087.4 HIG

——2vault-java-driver, a Java client for HashiCorp Vault, silently disables TLS certificate and hostname verification in three states where the caller asked for verification: an SslConfig passed to VaultConfig without calling build(), an SslConfig restored by Java deserialization, and VAULT_SSL_VERIFY set to a truthy value other than "true", such as 1, yes or on. In each case SslConfig.isVerify() returns false and the driver installs a trust-all SSLContext. An attacker on the network path to the Vault server can then read the Vault token and secrets in transit and forge responses. This issue affects io.github.jopenlibs:vault-java-driver 5.2.0 through 6.2.3. It is fixed in 7.0.0.1d CVE-2026-115758—

——1SumatraPDF is a multi-format reader for Windows. In version 3.6.1 and earlier, HttpGet() in src/base/Http_win.cpp unconditionally passes INTERNET_FLAG_IGNORE_CERT_CN_INVALID to WinINet, disabling hostname matching for HTTPS update metadata and crash-symbol requests while retaining certificate-chain validation. A network-positioned attacker with a Windows-trusted certificate for an attacker-controlled domain can impersonate the project's update host, inject promo text and a clickable URL before update metadata validation, and provide an attacker-controlled archive to ExtractSymbols(). Installer replacement is not directly possible because HttpGetToFile() validates TLS and MaybeStartUpdateDownload() restricts the download host. No fixed version is available as of this review.4d
