CVE-2026-115221

MediumCVSS 5.4
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A flaw was found in FreeIPA. An improper authorization check allows an authenticated host to retrieve and revoke digital certificates assigned to other users or services. This issue occurs because FreeIPA verifies ownership solely by matching the host name to the certificate's subject Common Name (CN), without confirming actual ownership in the directory service. Consequently, an enrolled host can disrupt services by revoking certificates belonging to other entities.

Risk Assessment

An enrolled host can disrupt services by revoking certificates belonging to other entities. This may lead to service outages and trust issues across the infrastructure.

Recommendation

Update FreeIPA to a version containing the authorization fix. Restrict host enrollment capabilities and monitor certificate revocation operations.
