AI-suggested

Upgrade PowerDNS-Admin to version 2026.11.0 or later, where this missing authorization vulnerability is fixed. Until the upgrade, restrict User-role accounts to trusted users only, as any authenticated User can exploit this flaw. No other mitigations are documented.

Description

PowerDNS-Admin versions before 2026.11.0 have a missing authorization vulnerability in the apply_records handler, allowing any authenticated user with User-role to modify shared zone templates. This flaw enables attackers to inject malicious DNS records such as NS, MX, A, or CNAME into templates, affecting all zones created from them.
