 * [High] CVE-2026-5503
 In TLSX_EchChangeSNI, the ctx->extensions branch set extensions unconditionally even when TLSX_Find returned NULL. This caused TLSX_UseSNI to attach the attacker-controlled publicName to the shared WOLFSSL_CTX when no inner SNI was configured. TLSX_EchRestoreSNI then failed to clean it up because its removal was gated on serverNameX != NULL. The inner ClientHello was sized before the pollution but written after it, causing TLSX_SNI_Write to memcpy 255 bytes past the allocation boundary. Thanks to Calif.io in collaboration with Claude and Anthropic Research for the report. Fixed in PR 10102.
 
+* [High] CVE-2026-5479
+In wolfSSL's EVP layer, the ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD decryption path in wolfSSL_EVP_CipherFinal (and related EVP cipher finalization functions) fails to verify the authentication tag before returning plaintext to the caller. When an application uses the EVP API to perform ChaCha20-Poly1305 decryption, the implementation computes or accepts the tag but does not compare it against the expected value. Thanks to Calif.io in collaboration with Claude and Anthropic Research for the report. Fixed in PR 10102.

 * [Med] CVE-2026-5392
 Heap out-of-bounds read in PKCS7 parsing. A crafted PKCS7 message can trigger an OOB read on the heap. The missing bounds check is in the indefinite-length end-of-content verification loop in PKCS7_VerifySignedData(). This only affects builds with PKCS7 support enabled. Thanks to J Laratro (d0sf3t) for the report. Fixed in PR 10039.
