CVE-2026-34073 PUBLISHED

cryptography has incomplete DNS name constraint enforcement on peer names

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 25.03.2026 Published: 31.03.2026 Updated: 31.03.2026

cryptography is a package designed to expose cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers. Prior to version 46.0.6, DNS name constraints were only validated against SANs within child certificates, and not the "peer name" presented during each validation. Consequently, cryptography would allow a peer named bar.example.com to validate against a wildcard leaf certificate for *.example.com, even if the leaf's parent certificate (or upwards) contained an excluded subtree constraint for bar.example.com. This issue has been patched in version 46.0.6.
