CVE-2026-47074 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2026-47074: Improper Certificate Validation vulnerability in ex-aws ex_aws_sns (ExAws.SNS, ExAws.SNS.PublicKeyCache modules) allows Signature Spoofing by Improper Validation. This vulnerability is associated with program files lib/ex_aws/sns.ex, lib/ex_aws/sns/public_key_cache.ex and program routines 'Elixir.ExAws.SNS':verify_message/1, 'Elixir.ExAws.SNS.PublicKeyCache':get/1. 'Elixir.ExAws.SNS':verify_message/1 fetches the signing certificate from the SigningCertURL field of the incoming SNS message without validating that the URL uses HTTPS or that the host matches an AWS-owned SNS certificate domain. An unauthenticated attacker who can POST to an endpoint that calls verify_message/1 can supply an attacker-controlled SigningCertURL, sign a forged SNS message with their own key, and cause the function to return :ok, completely bypassing SNS signature verification. This issue affects ex_aws_sns: from 2.0.1 before 2.3.5.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-47074

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2026-47074 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2026-47074

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2026-47074.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-47074, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.

CIA Impact Analysis

CAPEC Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification

  • Creating a Rogue Certification Authority Certificate CAPEC-459 An adversary exploits a weakness resulting from using a hashing algorithm with weak collision resistance to generate certificate signing requests (CSR) that contain collision blocks in their "to be signed" parts. The adversary submits one CSR to be signed by a trusted certificate authority then uses the signed blob to make a second certificate appear signed by said certificate authority. Due to the hash collision, both certificates, though different, hash to the same value and so the signed blob works just as well in the second certificate. The net effect is that the adversary's second X.509 certificate, which the Certification Authority has never seen, is now signed and validated by that Certification Authority.
  • Signature Spoofing by Improper Validation CAPEC-475 An adversary exploits a cryptographic weakness in the signature verification algorithm implementation to generate a valid signature without knowing the key.
