RRSIGs with too few labels can lead to bypass of DNSSEC wildcard validation
02 Description
RRSIGs with too few labels can lead to bypass of DNSSEC wildcard validation
03 Exploitation and scoring
- Exploitation
- Assessed, none found. CISA's assessment recorded neither public exploit code nor evidence of exploitation when it was made.
- SSVC decision
- ExploitationnoneCISA recorded no public exploit code and no evidence of exploitation.
- AutomatableyesAn attacker can reliably automate reconnaissance through exploitation, so this scales.
- Technical ImpactpartialSuccessful exploitation gives limited control of the vulnerable component.
- EPSS probability
- 0.17% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
- EPSS percentile
- Equal to or higher than the score of 7.1% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
- NVD base score
- 7.5 (CVSS v3.x), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.
- NVD CVSS vector
- CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N
- NVD analysis status
- Awaiting Analysis. NVD last modified this record on 2026-10-24.
