GHSA-w252-645g-87mp: Openfire has potential identity spoofing issue via unsafe CN parsing

## Summary Identity spoofing in X.509 client certificate authentication in Openfire allows internal attackers to impersonate other users via crafted certificate subject attributes, due to regex-based extraction of CN from an unescaped, provider-dependent DN string. ## Analysis Openfire’s SASL EXTERNAL mechanism for client TLS authentication contains a vulnerability in how it extracts user identities from X.509 certificates. Instead of parsing the structured ASN.1 data, the code calls `X509Certificate.getSubjectDN().getName()` and applies a regex to look for `CN=`. This method produces a provider-dependent string that does not escape special characters. In SunJSSE (`sun.security.x509.X500Name`), for example, commas and equals signs inside attribute values are not escaped. As a result, a malicious certificate can embed `CN=` inside another attribute value (e.g. `OU="CN=admin,"`). The regex will incorrectly interpret this as a legitimate Common Name and extract admin. If SASL EXTERNAL...
