CVE-2026-32280 is a resource-consumption vulnerability in Go certificate-chain building. When a large number of intermediate certificates is supplied through VerifyOptions.Intermediates, the verification process does not correctly limit the amount of chain-building work. Excessive processing can cause denial of service in applications using crypto/x509 directly or through crypto/tls.
