Improper verification of the time certificate in Eclipse Cyclone DDS before v0.10.5 allows attackers to bypass certificate checks and execute commands with System privileges.
Weakness
A certificate expiration is not validated or is incorrectly validated, so trust may be assigned to certificates that have been abandoned due to age.
