CVE-2026-53712: OnGres SCRAM silent channel-binding authentication downgrade via unsupported certificate algorithms

July 1, 2026

A flaw in com.ongres.scram:scram-client allows an attacker capable of performing a TLS man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack to silently downgrade a connection from SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS (with channel binding) to standard SCRAM-SHA-256 (without channel binding), bypassing strict client-side enforcement policies.
