CVE-2026-119658 Details
Description
PowerDNS-Admin through 2026.08.1 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows authenticated User-role accounts to refresh secondary zones they cannot access by supplying a different 'domain' field in the JSON body. Attackers authorized for any one zone can force axfr-retrieve transfers of other users' secondary zones and infer zone existence from differing responses.
An authorization bypass vulnerability has been identified in PowerDNS-Admin versions through 2026.08.1. This vulnerability allows authenticated User-role accounts to refresh secondary DNS zones that they do not have access to by manipulating the 'domain' field in the JSON body of a request. The issue arises because the application authorizes the zone based on the URL path but performs the action using the body-supplied zone name, creating a cross-zone access control flaw. As a result, an attacker can force AXFR transfers of other users' secondary zones and infer the existence of zones based on the responses received.
Users can update to PowerDNS-Admin version 2026.08.2 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
