From 71d0d6502f49aadab4076582764b0d0fdeb8378d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: TLS Scanner Developer Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2025 11:09:10 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Implement certificate chain validation to set trusted field This commit addresses issue #110 by implementing certificate chain validation to properly set the 'trusted' field in CertificateReport. Changes: - Added CertificateChainValidator class to validate certificate chains against trust anchors - Modified CertificateReportGenerator to use the validator when a full chain is available - Added overloaded generateReport method that accepts the full certificate chain - The 'trusted' field is now set based on whether the certificate chain validates to a trusted root The implementation checks if any certificate in the chain is a trust anchor or if the chain terminates at a trust anchor. This provides a basic but functional validation that resolves the issue where the 'trusted' field was always null. --- .../CertificateChainValidator.java | 107 ++++++++++++++++++ .../CertificateReportGenerator.java | 16 ++- .../CertificateChainValidatorTest.java | 56 +++++++++ .../CertificateReportGeneratorTest.java | 26 +++++ 4 files changed, 204 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 TLS-Scanner-Core/src/main/java/de/rub/nds/tlsscanner/core/probe/certificate/CertificateChainValidator.java create mode 100644 TLS-Scanner-Core/src/test/java/de/rub/nds/tlsscanner/core/probe/certificate/CertificateChainValidatorTest.java create mode 100644 TLS-Scanner-Core/src/test/java/de/rub/nds/tlsscanner/core/probe/certificate/CertificateReportGeneratorTest.java diff --git a/TLS-Scanner-Core/src/main/java/de/rub/nds/tlsscanner/core/probe/certificate/CertificateChainValidator.java b/TLS-Scanner-Core/src/main/java/de/rub/nds/tlsscanner/core/probe/certificate/CertificateChainValidator.java new file mode 100644 index 000000000..b95ee6bb3 --- /dev/null +++ b/TLS-Scanner-Core/src/main/java/de/rub/nds/tlsscanner/core/probe/certificate/CertificateChainValidator.java @@ -0,0 +1,107 @@ +/* + * TLS-Scanner - A TLS configuration and analysis tool based on TLS-Attacker + * + * Copyright 2017-2023 Ruhr University Bochum, Paderborn University, Technology Innovation Institute, and Hackmanit GmbH + * + * Licensed under Apache License, Version 2.0 + * http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt + */ +package de.rub.nds.tlsscanner.core.probe.certificate; + +import de.rub.nds.tlsscanner.core.trust.TrustAnchorManager; +import de.rub.nds.x509attacker.x509.model.X509Certificate; +import java.util.List; +import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager; +import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger; + +public class CertificateChainValidator { + + private static final Logger LOGGER = LogManager.getLogger(); + + /** + * Validates a certificate chain against the trust anchors by checking if any certificate in the + * chain is a trust anchor or if the chain terminates at a trust anchor. + * + * @param certificateChain The certificate chain to validate (leaf first) + * @return true if the chain validates to a trusted root, false otherwise + */ + public static boolean validateCertificateChain(List certificateChain) { + if (certificateChain == null || certificateChain.isEmpty()) { + LOGGER.debug("Certificate chain is null or empty"); + return false; + } + + TrustAnchorManager trustManager = TrustAnchorManager.getInstance(); + if (!trustManager.isInitialized()) { + LOGGER.debug("TrustAnchorManager is not initialized"); + return false; + } + + // Check if any certificate in the chain is a trust anchor + for (X509Certificate cert : certificateChain) { + // Create a temporary CertificateReport to check trust anchor status + CertificateReport tempReport = new CertificateReport(); + tempReport.setIssuer(cert.getIssuerString()); + tempReport.setSha256Fingerprint(cert.getSha256Fingerprint()); + + if (trustManager.isTrustAnchor(tempReport)) { + LOGGER.debug("Found trust anchor in certificate chain"); + return true; + } + } + + // Check if the last certificate (root) has an issuer that is a trust anchor + if (!certificateChain.isEmpty()) { + X509Certificate lastCert = certificateChain.get(certificateChain.size() - 1); + // If the last certificate is self-signed, we already checked it above + if (!lastCert.getIssuerString().equals(lastCert.getSubjectString())) { + // Check if the issuer is a trust anchor + javax.security.auth.x500.X500Principal issuerPrincipal = + new javax.security.auth.x500.X500Principal(lastCert.getIssuerString()); + if (trustManager.isTrustAnchor(issuerPrincipal)) { + LOGGER.debug("Certificate chain terminates at a trust anchor"); + return true; + } + } + } + + LOGGER.debug("Certificate chain does not validate to a trust anchor"); + return false; + } + + /** + * Validates if a single certificate in a chain is trusted.
