description
node-forge versions before 1.4.3 can accept certificate chains that violate non-critical X.509 name constraints during certificate-chain or forge.tls peer verification. An attacker who controls, or can obtain a certificate from, a constrained CA under a trusted root may impersonate names outside that CA's permitted namespace.
mitigation
Upgrade node-forge to version 1.4.3. Until upgrading, reject chains beneath CAs carrying the X.509 nameConstraints extension in the certificate-verification callback, and review trust anchors separately.
fixed in 1.4.3
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
