    <title>GHSA-vp29-5652-4fw9 — CoreDNS has TSIG authentication bypass on gRPC and QUIC transports</title>
    <updated>2026-10-04T00:15:06.846832+00:00</updated>

      <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p><strong>Affected:</strong> Go: github.com/coredns/coredns</p>
<p>### Summary</p>
<p>The gRPC, QUIC, DoH, and DoH3 transports in CoreDNS incorrectly handle TSIG authentication.</p>
<p>For gRPC and QUIC, CoreDNS checks whether the TSIG key name exists in the config, but does not actually verify the TSIG HMAC. If the key name matches, `tsigStatus` remains nil and the tsig plugin treats the request as "verified".</p>
<p>For DoH and DoH3, the issue is worse: TSIG is not verified at all. The DoH response writer has `TsigStatus()` hardcoded to return nil, so any request containing a TSIG record is treated as authenticated, even if the key name is invalid and the MAC is garbage.</p>
<p>As a result, attackers may bypass TSIG authentication on affected transports and access TSIG-protected functionality such as AXFR/IXFR zone transfers, dynamic updates, or other TSIG-gated plugin behavior.</p>
<p>### Details</p>
<p>In `server_grpc.go` and `server_quic.go`, the TSIG handling checks whether the TSIG key name exists, but does not call `dns.TsigVerify()`.</p>
<p>Relevant code before fix:</p>
<p>```go
if tsig := msg.IsTsig(); tsig != nil {
    if s.tsigSecret == nil {
        w.tsigStatus = dns.ErrSecret
    } else if _, ok := s.tsigSecret[tsig.Hdr.Name]; !ok {
        w.tsigStatus = dns.ErrSecret
    }
    // key found -&gt; nothing happens -&gt; tsigStatus stays nil -&gt; "verified"
}
```</p>
<p>This means that for gRPC and QUIC, a request with a known TSIG key name but an invalid MAC is accepted as authenticated.</p>
<p>PRs #7943 and #7947 partially addressed this area by adding key name checks for gRPC and QUIC, but d…</p></div>
