CVE-2025-68121

A flaw was found in the crypto/tls component. This vulnerability occurs during Transport Layer Security (TLS) session resumption when certificate authority (CA) settings are modified between the initial and resumed handshakes. An attacker could exploit this to bypass certificate validation, allowing a client or server to establish a connection that should have been rejected. This could lead to an authentication bypass under specific conditions.

This is a moderate flaw because it only occurs under specific conditions, such as TLS session resumption with runtime changes to certificate authority settings. Exploitation is not straightforward and requires a controlled setup. The impact is limited to certificate validation within the same component and does not affect system availability.
