CVE-2026-89133 is an improper X.509 certificate validation vulnerability in wolfSSL 5.9.2 and earlier. The certificate-chain validation state machine fails to preserve NameConstraints enforcement when it encounters an unconstrained CA between a name-constrained intermediate CA and the leaf certificate. As a result, wolfSSL can accept a certificate for a hostname outside the DNS namespace authorized by the constrained CA.
