CVE-2026-12490
Last modified
CVE-2026-12490 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. When a provide-xfr is given with a tls-auth-name, a secondary requesting a transfer should provide a client certificate with that name. However, no client certificate is needed when the request comes in over TLS over the regular tls-port (and not the tls-auth-port) or over over TCP over the regular port, when the other conditions of the provide-xfr rule match.. EPSS estimates a 0.14% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
