CVE-2025-5025 is an improper certificate validation vulnerability in libcurl's HTTPS certificate public-key pinning support. When libcurl uses the wolfSSL TLS backend and connects over QUIC for HTTP/3, it omits the configured server public-key pin verification. Consequently, a transfer configured to require a pinned public key can complete without verifying that pin when HTTP/3 is negotiated.

This repository is a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) environment for CVE-2025-5025, focusing on HTTP/3 (QUIC) and TLS certificate handling. The structure consists of Dockerfiles for a client and two servers (real and fake), orchestrated via docker-compose. The client container builds curl with HTTP/3 and wolfSSL support, and the servers use Python's aioquic library to provide HTTP/3 endpoints with custom certificates. The docker-compose file sets up a private network with static IPs and mounts certificate files into the containers. The PoC is designed to demonstrate or test the vulnerability scenario described by CVE-2025-5025, likely involving certificate pinning or validation bypasses between the client and the two servers. No direct exploit payload is present; the repository provides an environment to reproduce or analyze the vulnerability.
