ASP.NET Misconfiguration: Incomplete Certificate Validation

C#/VB.NET/ASP.NET

Abstract

Allowing peer-issued certificates reduces the level of security in certificate validation.

Explanation

Programs can be configured to validate X.509 certificates in one of three ways. By default, certificates are validated through their chain of trust back to a trusted root authority. This setting is known as ChainTrust and provides the maximum level of assurance that the certificate is valid. By default all certificates are validated using ChainTrust.

To make use of a certificate that was not issued by a trusted root authority, a program can be configured to trust certificates issued by its peers by setting either PeerTrust or PeerOrChainTrust. These settings should not be used in production environments because they significantly reduce the level of security granted by certificates.
