Description

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-1028 advisory.

 Calling Verify with a VerifyOptions.KeyUsages that contains ExtKeyUsageAny unintentionally disabledpolicy validation. This only affected certificate chains which contain policy graphs, which are rather uncommon.
 (CVE-2025-22874)

 Proxy-Authorization and Proxy-Authenticate headers persisted on cross-origin redirects potentially leaking sensitive information. (CVE-2025-4673)
