Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Certificate Validation due to improper enforcement of CA name constraints when processing certificates containing wildcard DNS SANs. An attacker can obtain a certificate with a wildcard DNS SAN that should be restricted by the CA's permitted or excluded DNS name constraints and have it accepted, potentially enabling unauthorized access to restricted domains.
