CVE-2026-65981 Details
Description
Coturn is a free open source implementation of TURN and STUN Server. Prior to 4.15.0, a server using --mobility authenticates a resumed REFRESH request with the resuming user's credentials but does not verify that identity against the original allocation owner, allowing an authenticated attacker who obtains a victim MOBILITY-TICKET to receive and inject relayed traffic and consume the victim's quota. In the handle_turn_refresh resume branch, the victim allocation (orig_ss) is located solely by the attacker-controlled mobile id, and credentials are only adopted (via copy_auth_parameters) when the resuming session is unauthenticated. Because the attacker's session already has hmackey_set set to 1 from its own prior authentication (which is never reset for long-term-credential sessions), the credential copy is skipped and check_stun_auth validates the REFRESH against the attacker's own identity rather than the allocation owner's. This issue is fixed in version 4.15.0.
A vulnerability in Coturn's handling of the MOBILITY feature allows an authenticated attacker to take over a victim's TURN allocation. This issue affects Coturn versions prior to 4.15.0. When the server is run with the '--mobility' option, an attacker with valid long-term credentials can exploit the session-resume process. The vulnerability arises because the resuming request is authenticated using the attacker's credentials, without verifying ownership of the original allocation. By manipulating the mobile ID, the attacker can intercept and inject relayed traffic, consuming the victim's quota and disrupting their service.
Users can upgrade to Coturn version 4.15.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
