MsQuic: Improper Certificate Validation in Microsoft.Native.Quic.MsQuic.OpenSSL

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 05.10.2026 Published: 06.10.2026 Updated: 06.10.2026

MsQuic is a cross-platform C implementation of the IETF QUIC protocol exposed to C, C++, C#, and Rust. Prior to 2.4.20, 2.5.11, and 2.6.1, MsQuic clients using the OpenSSL or QuicTLS TLS backend do not properly verify that a server certificate matches the intended target server hostname. An on-path attacker can therefore present a certificate that does not match the intended target hostname and spoof the server in a man-in-the-middle attack. The Schannel backend is not affected. This issue is fixed in versions 2.4.20, 2.5.11, and 2.6.1.
