CERT Polska coordinated disclosure of CVE-2026-9058, a flaw in Szafir SDK affecting how the library handles certificate validation. When presented with untrusted certificates containing the Authority Information Access caIssuers URI extension, the SDK automatically fetches the parent CA certificate and imports it into its trust store as nonqualified, then reports a success status (0, Positively verified) rather than rejecting the chain. Other untrusted certificate types similarly return a positive verification status with a nondetermined certificate status.
The practical impact is that applications integrating Szafir SDK may incorrectly treat digital signatures as valid despite an untrusted certificate chain, enabling authentication bypass and user impersonation. This is particularly relevant for use-cases outside qualified certificate authentication, or where qualified certificate authentication is not correctly implemented by the integrating application. The vendor has fixed the issue in version 1.8.463.2. The vulnerability was responsibly reported by researcher Michał Leszczyński (icedev.pl), and no evidence of active exploitation is mentioned in the disclosure.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,572 reports from 147 sources, 724 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
