Highlights
Denial of Service: 2 prior fixes. Scrutinize any change in this area.
certificate/constraints/constraints.go: most-fixed (1 issue). Treat as high-risk during review.
1 high-severity fix in this history; regressions here are high-impact.
Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: A logic flow error in the certificate policy enforcement allowed certificates with specific EKUs to bypass technical constraint checks entirely. This undermines the trust boundary of the validator.
Denial of Service: External execution of 'certlint' lacked process timeouts, allowing malformed input or hung sub-processes to permanently consume worker resources.
Denial of Service: Unbounded execution of external connection scanners (like cipherscan) against slow or malicious TLS targets can hang indefinitely, resulting in resource exhaustion.
