Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: Inclusion of compromised or deprecated CAs, such as Entrust, AffirmTrust, and ePKI, allows attackers possessing fraudulent certificates issued by these authorities to bypass TLS authentication and intercept connection traffic.
Auth Bypass: Distrusted root certificates like SecureSign Root CA12 in the webpki-roots component can lead to unauthorized trust verification and potential MitM vulnerabilities if not explicitly stripped from the compiled trust anchor list.
