Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
FreeIPA (affected versions not specified)
Description
A privilege escalation flaw exists in FreeIPA, allowing an attacker to escalate from a host user to a domain administrator. This issue is similar to CVE-2025-4404 and stems from a failure to validate the uniqueness of the
krbCanonicalName. Specifically, FreeIPA does not validate the root@REALM canonical name, which can be used as the realm administrator's name, enabling administrative tasks and potential access to sensitive data. The vulnerability could lead to sensitive data exfiltration.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
