CVSS 3.1
7.3 highCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:HCVE-2024-1488
High (7.3). EPSS 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
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.
