Case-sensitive excludedSubtrees name constraints cause Auth Bypass in crypto/x509

Published: 4/7/2026Modified: 5/21/2026

Description

When verifying a certificate chain containing excluded DNS constraints, these constraints are not correctly applied to wildcard DNS SANs which use a different case than the constraint. This only affects validation of otherwise trusted certificate chains, issued by a root CA in the VerifyOptions.Roots CertPool, or in the system certificate pool.
