CVE-2026-42225 Details
Description
PJSIP is a free and open source multimedia communication library written in C. Prior to version 2.17, on GnuTLS builds, the SIP TLS transport (sip_transport_tls) can accept connections with invalid or untrusted certificates even when the application explicitly enables certificate verification via verify_server = PJ_TRUE or verify_client = PJ_TRUE. This issue has been patched in version 2.17.
A vulnerability exists in PJSIP versions prior to 2.17, specifically in GnuTLS builds, where the SIP TLS transport can accept connections with invalid or untrusted certificates. This occurs even when the application enables certificate verification. As a result, a network-positioned attacker could exploit this to intercept SIPS connections or bypass mutual-TLS authentication.
Users can update to PJSIP version 2.17, where this vulnerability has been patched. The patch is available in the master branch.
