CVE-2026-94417 is an improper certificate revocation-validation vulnerability in wolfSSL versions 5.9.2 and earlier. In ProcessPeerCerts(), when OCSP and CRL checking are enabled on the same WOLFSSL_CTX or certificate manager, an OCSP soft-fail for a peer certificate lacking an Authority Information Access OCSP responder URL is treated as success before CRL fallback is evaluated. Consequently, wolfSSL can skip a loaded CRL check and accept a certificate that the CRL identifies as revoked. The flaw affects TLS 1.0 through TLS 1.3 and DTLS, including client verification of server certificates and server verification of client certificates in mutual or post-handshake authentication. It requires builds with both OCSP and CRL support and applications that enable both validation mechanisms on the same context or certificate manager. OCSP stapling used solely through wolfSSL_CTX_EnableOCSPStapling() is not affected.

Low-severity wolfSSL certificate-revocation validation bypass in OCSP and CRL fallback handling, which could accept a revoked certificate.
Low-severity wolfSSL OCSP/CRL fallback validation bypass that may permit acceptance of a revoked certificate.
A wolfSSL certificate-revocation validation flaw in versions 5.9.2 and earlier. When both OCSP and CRL checking are enabled, a peer certificate without an OCSP responder URL can bypass CRL revocation checking and be accepted even if listed as revoked. It affects TLS 1.0–1.3 and DTLS client/server certificate verification, including mutual authentication. An unchecked intermediate certificate may persist as a trusted signer within a long-running certificate manager context.
