- Also known as: EUVD-2026-110028
- Severity: CVSS 3.8 (Low), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L

## Summary

Routinator, an open-source RPKI validator used by network operators to check Internet routing data, is affected. Because it caches a newly retrieved trust anchor certificate without validating it first, a failed or malicious update can overwrite a known good certificate, which could weaken the integrity of route origin validation.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- NLnet Labs Routinator: version range not reported

## Description

Routinator stores a newly-retrieved TA certificate via HTTPS in cache without validation, potentially overwriting a known good TA certificate even if validation fails.
