CVE-2026-63374: AnyIO: TLSStream IDNA 2003 host name encoding enables potential TLS certificate spoofing
Services using internationalized (non-ASCII) domain names are potentially vulnerable to TLS connections made from AnyIO’s connect_tcp() or directly via TLSStream.wrap() where the connection has (through other means) been hijacked and redirected to a malicious server. The attacker would obtain a legitimate certificate using the IDNA 2003 encoded version of the domain name and offer it to the connecting client, making the certificate validate properly on the client’s end.
