CVE-2026-82509 PUBLISHED

V Programming Language net.http TLS Certificate Validation Bypass

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 29.08.2026 Published: 10.11.2026 Updated: 10.11.2026

V programming language standard library net.http through version 0.5.2 prior to commit 4077484 contains a TLS certificate validation bypass vulnerability that allows on-path attackers to intercept HTTPS traffic by exploiting the default false value of SSLConnectConfig.validate and FetchConfig.validate, which completes TLS handshakes without verifying certificates in both the mbedtls and OpenSSL backends. Attackers can present an expired, self-signed, wrong-hostname, or untrusted-root certificate to successfully complete the handshake via http.get, http.post, or http.fetch, enabling interception or modification of HTTPS traffic unless validate: true is explicitly configured.
