Summary

CVE-2026-27145 is a medium-severity Unchecked Input for Loop Condition (CWE-606) vulnerability in Go (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 6.5 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Application or System Exploitation (T1499.004); ranked at the 45th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

(*x509.Certificate).VerifyHostname previously called matchHostnames in a loop over all DNS Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entries. This caused strings.Split(host, ".") to execute repeatedly on the same input hostname. With a large DNS SAN list, verification costs scaled quadratically based on the…

number of SAN entries multiplied by the hostname's label count. Because x509.Verify validates hostnames before building the certificate chain, this overhead occurred even for untrusted certificates.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly stops untrusted values from reaching loop conditions without bounds or sanity checks.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and bounds checking that prevent unchecked loop conditions.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing in development can detect and block unchecked loop conditions before release.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development lifecycle requires input validation and bounds checking that can prevent unchecked loop conditions.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements include input validation rules that mitigate excessive looping from untrusted data.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards directly mandate validation of loop-control inputs to prevent unbounded iteration.
