BOGUS configured primary hostname accepted for XFR in auth/rpz zones
CVE-2026-50248 is fixed in 12 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-50248, released July 28, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
In NLnet Labs Unbound 1.7.0 up to and including 1.25.1, when an auth/rpz zone has a configured primary hostname that resolves to BOGUS A/AAAA, it is still considered as a possible XFR endpoint. A malicious actor that can spoof the hostname's A/AAAA record (no valid RRSIG required) becomes the zone's XFR primary and can replaces the entire zone/the resolver's entire response policy.
