CVE-2026-56820: Netty: Missing CertificateID Validation in OCSP Response Allows Replay Attacks
Netty’s OcspClient does not validate that the CertificateID in an OCSP response matches the requested CertificateID. A bad actor can replay a GOOD status response issued for an unrelated certificate (by the same CA) to bypass revocation checks for any certificate.
