CVE-2026-105031 Details
Description
When using the OpenSSL TLS implementation, both the pn_ssl_domain_set_trusted_ca_db() & pn_tls_config_set_trusted_certs() APIs added to rather than replaced the default system trust anchors. Leading to potentially trusting unexpected peer certificates. This can be worked around by setting the SSL_CERT_FILE environment variable for the application to /dev/null. This issue does not affect the Win32 SChannel TLS implementation. This issue affects Apache Qpid Proton C: through 0.40.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 0.41.1, which fixes the issue.
A vulnerability exists in Apache Qpid Proton C in versions prior to 0.40.0, when using the OpenSSL TLS implementation. The issue arises because the pn_ssl_domain_set_trusted_ca_db() and pn_tls_config_set_trusted_certs() APIs add to, rather than replace, the default system trust anchors. This behavior can lead to the acceptance of unexpected peer certificates. The vulnerability does not affect the Win32 SChannel TLS implementation.
Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Qpid Proton C version 0.41.1, which addresses this vulnerability. For those unable to upgrade, the SSL_CERT_FILE environment variable can be set to /dev/null as a temporary workaround.
