CVE-2026-78323
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
A flaw was found in JSS (Java Security Services). The JSSTrustManager class does not verify NSS trust flags when validating CA certificates, allowing certificates present in the NSS database without TRUSTED_CA flags to be accepted as trust anchors for TLS connections. In non-default configurations where certificate revocation checking is disabled, this could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to forge certificates accepted by PKI client connections.

"value": "Se encontró una vulnerabilidad en JSS (Java Security Services). La clase JSSTrustManager no verifica los indicadores de confianza de NSS al validar certificados de CA, permitiendo que los certificados presentes en la base de datos de NSS sin indicadores TRUSTED_CA sean aceptados como anclas de confianza para conexiones TLS. En configuraciones no predeterminadas donde la verificación de revocación de certificados está deshabilitada, esto podría permitir a un atacante man-in-the-middle falsificar certificados aceptados por las conexiones de cliente PKI."
