**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
CoreDNS versions prior to 1.14.3
**Description**
The `tsig` plugin can be bypassed on non-plain-DNS transports, specifically DoT, DoH, DoH3, DoQ, and gRPC. This occurs because the plugin relies on the transport writer's `TsigStatus()` function instead of performing its own verification. Specifically, the `TsigStatus()` function for DoH, DoH3, DoQ, and gRPC writers unconditionally returns `nil`, and the DoT server fails to set `TsigSecret` on the `dns.Server`. This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote client to bypass TSIG-based authentication and access resources restricted by a `tsig require all` policy, such as privileged queries or zone data. Plain DNS over TCP and UDP are not affected.
**Recommendations**
Update CoreDNS to version 1.14.3 or later.
