Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
When establishing a server-mode `TLSSocket` using `fs2-io` on Node.js, the parameter `requestCert = true` is ignored, peer certificate verification is skipped, and the connection proceeds.
The vulnerability is limited to:
1. `fs2-io` running on Node.js. The JVM TLS implementation is completely independent.
2. `TLSSocket`s in server-mode. Client-mode `TLSSocket`s are implemented via a different API.
3. mTLS as enabled via `requestCert = true` in `TLSParameters`. The default setting is `false` for server-mode `TLSSocket`s.
It was introduced with the initial Node.js implementation of fs2-io in v3.1.0.
### Patches
A patch is released in v3.2.11. The `requestCert = true` parameter is respected and the peer certificate is verified. If verification fails, a `SSLException` is raised.
### Workarounds
If using an unpatched version on Node.js, do not use a server-mode `TLSSocket` with `requestCert = true` to establish a mTLS connection.
