Summary

A flaw was found in JSS (Java Security Services). The JSSTrustManager class does not verify NSS trust flags when validating CA certificates, allowing certificates present in the NSS database without TRUSTED_CA flags to be accepted as trust anchors for TLS connections. In non-default configurations where certificate revocation checking is disabled, this could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to forge certificates accepted by PKI client connections.

Risk Assessment

The organization is exposed to man-in-the-middle attacks that could lead to interception or modification of TLS communications, compromising data confidentiality and integrity.

Recommendation

Update JSS to a patched version and ensure certificate revocation checking is enabled in production configurations.
