CVE-2026-123599— Hickory DNS before 0.26.0-beta.1 DNSSEC Validation Bypass via Non-IN Class Records

Quick assessment

Affected
hickory-dns hickory-dns
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

在 0.26.0-beta.1 之前的 Hickory DNS 组件以及 0.26.2 之前的 组件中存在一个 DNSSEC 验证绕过漏洞。该漏洞源于 函数在划分资源记录集（RRsets）时忽略了 DNS 类别（Class）字段，导致非 IN 类别的记录跳过了签名验证，却仍被标记为安全状态（前提是 IN 类别记录验证通过）。能够注入 DNS 响应的攻击者可以利用此漏洞，伪造 CH 或 HS 类别的记录（包括 DS 记录），从而对任意 DNSKEY 进行认证，并伪造子域区的响应。

Vulnerability Title
Hickory DNS before 0.26.0-beta.1 DNSSEC Validation Bypass via Non-IN Class Records
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Hickory DNS hickory-proto before 0.26.0-beta.1 and hickory-net before 0.26.2 contain a DNSSEC validation bypass because verify_rrsets() ignores DNS class when partitioning RRsets, so non-IN records skip signature verification yet are marked secure when the IN records verify. Attackers able to supply DNS responses can include forged CH or HS class records, including DS records, to authenticate any DNSKEY and forge child zone responses.
