Description
CVE-2026-3336 is a high-severity vulnerability in the AWS-LC cryptographic library involving improper certificate validation in the PKCS7_verify() function. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to bypass certificate chain verification for PKCS7 objects with multiple signers, except the final signer, potentially compromising data integrity. AWS customers using AWS services are not required to take action as the vendor manages remediation. Applications using AWS-LC should upgrade to version 1.69.0 to address the issue.
