CVE-2026-3230
Description
A flaw was found in wolfSSL. A remote attacker could exploit a missing cryptographic step in the Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 client HelloRetryRequest handshake logic. By sending a crafted HelloRetryRequest followed by a ServerHello message that omits the required key_share extension, an attacker could cause the derivation of predictable traffic secrets from the (Elliptic Curve) Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral ((EC)DHE) shared secret. This could lead to a compromise in the confidentiality of TLS-protected communications.
