Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-28 22:46 – Updated: 2026-05-08 15:28
VLAI
Summary
CoreDNS has TSIG authentication bypass on DoT, DoH, DoH3, DoQ, and gRPC
Details

Summary

CoreDNS' tsig plugin can be bypassed on non-plain-DNS transports because it trusts the transport writer's TsigStatus() instead of performing verification itself. In the attached PoC, plain DNS/TCP correctly rejects an invalid TSIG (NOTAUTH), while the same invalid-TSIG request is accepted over DoT (tls://) and DoH (https://), allowing a client without the shared secret to satisfy require all. The same bug class affects DoH3, DoQ, and gRPC.

Details

The tsig plugin decides whether an incoming TSIG was valid by consulting w.TsigStatus(): tsigStatus := w.TsigStatus(); if tsigStatus != nil { ... NOTAUTH ... } (plugin/tsig/tsig.go)

Two affected transports are shown directly in the PoC: - DoH: DoHWriter.TsigStatus() always returns nil (core/dnsserver/https.go), and the HTTP server passes unpacked DNS messages directly into the plugin chain. - DoT: the TLS server builds a dns.Server without setting TsigSecret (core/dnsserver/server_tls.go), unlike plain DNS/TCP/UDP which sets TsigSecret: s.tsigSecret (core/dnsserver/server.go).

The same transport-family bug pattern also appears on other transports: - DoH3 reuses the DoH writer path (core/dnsserver/server_https3.go -> core/dnsserver/https.go), so it inherits the same TsigStatus() == nil behavior. - DoQ uses DoQWriter.TsigStatus() error { return nil } (core/dnsserver/quic.go). - gRPC uses gRPCresponse.TsigStatus() error { return nil } (core/dnsserver/server_grpc.go).

The attached PoC was kept deliberately small (baseline TCP+DoT+DoH only) for convenience.

PoC

  1. Adjust COREDNS_BIN in the PoC to point at right path (see the top-level const definitions for tunables as well)
  2. Run python3 ./tsig-repro.py
  3. Expected output: *** Start CoreDNS *** Corefile: /tmp/vh-f001-tsig-doh-dot-bypass/Corefile Log: /tmp/vh-f001-tsig-doh-dot-bypass/coredns.log

*** Baseline (plain TCP) *** no_tsig rcode=5 (expected REFUSED=5) invalid_tsig rcode=9 (expected NOTAUTH=9)

*** Candidate (DoT) *** no_tsig rcode=5 (expected REFUSED=5) invalid_tsig rcode=0 ancount=1 (expected NOERROR=0 and ancount>0)

*** Candidate (DoH) *** no_tsig http=200 rcode=5 (expected REFUSED=5) invalid_tsig http=200 rcode=0 ancount=1 (expected NOERROR=0 and ancount>0)

*** OK *** TSIG bypass reproduced: plain TCP rejects invalid TSIG, while DoT and DoH accept it. Results: /tmp/vh-f001-tsig-doh-dot-bypass/results.json

Impact

Unauthenticated remote clients can bypass TSIG-based authentication/authorization on first-class encrypted transports, enabling access to whatever the deployment intended to restrict behind tsig { require all } (e.g., zone data/privileged queries, etc.).

  "details": "### Summary\nCoreDNS\u0027 tsig plugin can be bypassed on non-plain-DNS transports because it trusts the transport writer\u0027s TsigStatus() instead of performing verification itself. In the attached PoC, plain DNS/TCP correctly rejects an invalid TSIG (NOTAUTH), while the same invalid-TSIG request is accepted over DoT (tls://) and DoH (https://), allowing a client without the shared secret to satisfy require all. The same bug class affects DoH3, DoQ, and gRPC.\n\n### Details\nThe tsig plugin decides whether an incoming TSIG was valid by consulting w.TsigStatus(): tsigStatus := w.TsigStatus(); if tsigStatus != nil { ... NOTAUTH ... } (plugin/tsig/tsig.go)\n\nTwo affected transports are shown directly in the PoC:\n- DoH: DoHWriter.TsigStatus() always returns nil (core/dnsserver/https.go), and the HTTP server passes unpacked DNS messages directly into the plugin chain.\n- DoT: the TLS server builds a dns.Server without setting TsigSecret (core/dnsserver/server_tls.go), unlike plain DNS/TCP/UDP which sets TsigSecret: s.tsigSecret (core/dnsserver/server.go).\n\nThe same transport-family bug pattern also appears on other transports:\n- DoH3 reuses the DoH writer path (core/dnsserver/server_https3.go -\u003e core/dnsserver/https.go), so it inherits the same TsigStatus() == nil behavior.\n- DoQ uses DoQWriter.TsigStatus() error { return nil } (core/dnsserver/quic.go).\n- gRPC uses gRPCresponse.TsigStatus() error { return nil } (core/dnsserver/server_grpc.go).\n\nThe attached PoC was kept deliberately small (baseline TCP+DoT+DoH only) for convenience.\n\n### PoC\n1. Adjust COREDNS_BIN in the PoC to point at right path (see the top-level const definitions for tunables as well)\n2. Run python3 ./tsig-repro.py\n3. Expected output:\n*** Start CoreDNS ***\nCorefile: /tmp/vh-f001-tsig-doh-dot-bypass/Corefile\nLog: /tmp/vh-f001-tsig-doh-dot-bypass/coredns.log\n\n*** Baseline (plain TCP) ***\nno_tsig rcode=5 (expected REFUSED=5)\ninvalid_tsig rcode=9 (expected NOTAUTH=9)\n\n*** Candidate (DoT) ***\nno_tsig rcode=5 (expected REFUSED=5)\ninvalid_tsig rcode=0 ancount=1 (expected NOERROR=0 and ancount\u003e0)\n\n*** Candidate (DoH) ***\nno_tsig http=200 rcode=5 (expected REFUSED=5)\ninvalid_tsig http=200 rcode=0 ancount=1 (expected NOERROR=0 and ancount\u003e0)\n\n*** OK ***\nTSIG bypass reproduced: plain TCP rejects invalid TSIG, while DoT and DoH accept it.\nResults: /tmp/vh-f001-tsig-doh-dot-bypass/results.json\n\n\n### Impact\nUnauthenticated remote clients can bypass TSIG-based authentication/authorization on first-class encrypted transports, enabling access to whatever the deployment intended to restrict behind tsig { require all } (e.g., zone data/privileged queries, etc.).",

Summary
OpenStack Swauth object/proxy server writing Auth Token to log file
Details

An issue was discovered in middleware.py in OpenStack Swauth through 1.2.0 when used with OpenStack Swift through 2.15.1. The Swift object store and proxy server are saving (unhashed) tokens retrieved from the Swauth middleware authentication mechanism to a log file as part of a GET URI. This allows attackers to bypass authentication by inserting a token into an X-Auth-Token header of a new request. NOTE: github.com/openstack/swauth URLs do not mean that Swauth is maintained by an official OpenStack project team.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

Use an authentication framework or library such as the OWASP ESAPI Authentication feature.

CAPEC-114: Authentication Abuse

An attacker obtains unauthorized access to an application, service or device either through knowledge of the inherent weaknesses of an authentication mechanism, or by exploiting a flaw in the authentication scheme's implementation. In such an attack an authentication mechanism is functioning but a carefully controlled sequence of events causes the mechanism to grant access to the attacker.

CAPEC-115: Authentication Bypass

An attacker gains access to application, service, or device with the privileges of an authorized or privileged user by evading or circumventing an authentication mechanism. The attacker is therefore able to access protected data without authentication ever having taken place.

CAPEC-151: Identity Spoofing

Identity Spoofing refers to the action of assuming (i.e., taking on) the identity of some other entity (human or non-human) and then using that identity to accomplish a goal. An adversary may craft messages that appear to come from a different principle or use stolen / spoofed authentication credentials.

CAPEC-194: Fake the Source of Data

An adversary takes advantage of improper authentication to provide data or services under a falsified identity. The purpose of using the falsified identity may be to prevent traceability of the provided data or to assume the rights granted to another individual. One of the simplest forms of this attack would be the creation of an email message with a modified "From" field in order to appear that the message was sent from someone other than the actual sender. The root of the attack (in this case the email system) fails to properly authenticate the source and this results in the reader incorrectly performing the instructed action. Results of the attack vary depending on the details of the attack, but common results include privilege escalation, obfuscation of other attacks, and data corruption/manipulation.

CAPEC-22: Exploiting Trust in Client

An attack of this type exploits vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by communicating directly with the server where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.

CAPEC-57: Utilizing REST's Trust in the System Resource to Obtain Sensitive Data

This attack utilizes a REST(REpresentational State Transfer)-style applications' trust in the system resources and environment to obtain sensitive data once SSL is terminated.

CAPEC-593: Session Hijacking

This type of attack involves an adversary that exploits weaknesses in an application's use of sessions in performing authentication. The adversary is able to steal or manipulate an active session and use it to gain unathorized access to the application.

CAPEC-633: Token Impersonation

An adversary exploits a weakness in authentication to create an access token (or equivalent) that impersonates a different entity, and then associates a process/thread to that that impersonated token. This action causes a downstream user to make a decision or take action that is based on the assumed identity, and not the response that blocks the adversary.

CAPEC-650: Upload a Web Shell to a Web Server

By exploiting insufficient permissions, it is possible to upload a web shell to a web server in such a way that it can be executed remotely. This shell can have various capabilities, thereby acting as a "gateway" to the underlying web server. The shell might execute at the higher permission level of the web server, providing the ability the execute malicious code at elevated levels.

CAPEC-94: Adversary in the Middle (AiTM)

An adversary targets the communication between two components (typically client and server), in order to alter or obtain data from transactions. A general approach entails the adversary placing themself within the communication channel between the two components.
