High · 8.2 CVE-2026-63576 EUVD-2026-91227GHSA-3248-8mh4-pcmr

URI name constraints checked against a mis-parsed host

Published Oct 2, 2026 · Updated Oct 6, 2026 · Assigned by bcorg

Description

Improper certificate validation in PkixNameConstraintValidator (ExtractHostFromURL) in Legion of the Bouncy Castle Inc. bc-csharp before 2.7.0 allows a name-constrained subordinate CA, or anyone able to obtain certificates with chosen subjectAltName URIs from such a CA, to bypass permitted or excluded uniformResourceIdentifier name constraints during certification path validation via a URI whose path, query, fragment or userinfo contains characters such as '@' or ':', because the host was extracted by string slicing without first isolating the RFC 3986 authority component, so the host compared against the constraints could differ from the URI's actual host.
