Summary

When using RPK, the client side of TLS 1.2, 1.3 and DTLS 1.2 connections could accept an unsolicited server_cert_type=RawPublicKey, allowing a malicious or misbehaving server to bypass authentication. RPK is off by default and only enabled in specific builds.

Risk Assessment

A malicious server can impersonate a trusted server without a valid certificate, potentially leading to data interception or man-in-the-middle attacks.

Recommendation

Update wolfSSL to a patched version. If not possible, disable RPK in the build configuration.
