Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Poweradmin, a web-based DNS administration tool. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by manipulating the HTTP_HOST request header. This manipulation allows the attacker to poison the redirect_uri used in the OpenID Connect (OIDC), Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), and logout authentication flows. As a result, the victim's authorization code can be redirected to an attacker-controlled server, leading to a full account takeover without requiring any credentials.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-06-23 23:01:19 UTC
Poweradmin is a web-based DNS administration tool for PowerDNS server. Versions prior to 4.2.4 and 4.3.3 use the attacker-controlled `HTTP_HOST` request header as the authoritative source for building callback URLs in its OIDC, SAML, and logout authentication flows without any validation. An unauthenticated attacker can poison the `redirect_uri` sent to the Identity Provider, causing the IdP to redirect the victim's authorization code to an attacker-controlled server - resulting in full account takeover with no credentials required. Versions 4.2.4 and 4.3.3 patch the issue.
