Nlnet · Unbound · CVE-2024-1488
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Unbound (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
A vulnerability was found in Unbound due to incorrect default permissions, allowing any process outside the unbound group to modify the unbound runtime configuration. If a process can connect over localhost to port 8953, it can alter the configuration of unbound.service. This flaw allows an unprivileged attacker to manipulate a running instance, potentially altering forwarders, allowing them to track all queries forwarded by the local resolver, and, in some cases, disrupting resolving altogether.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
