FreeIPA vulnerabilities
17 known CVE vulnerabilities in FreeIPA, translated and rated.
- CVE-2026-73199Medium
The ipa-enrollment SLAPI plugin in FreeIPA has a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A remote authenticated client can send a malformed LDAP extended operation, omitting the request value for JOIN_OID, causing a server crash and denial of service.
- CVE-2017-11191High
FreeIPA 4.x with API version 2.213 allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended account-locking restrictions via an unlock action with an old session ID (for the same user account) that had been created for an earlier session.
- CVE-2015-5179High
FreeIPA might display user data improperly via vectors involving non-printable characters.
- CVE-2016-7030High
FreeIPA uses a default password policy that locks an account after 5 unsuccessful authentication attempts. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by locking out the account in which system services run on.
- CVE-2016-5414High
FreeIPA version 4.4.0 allows remote attackers to request an arbitrary SAN name for services.
- CVE-2026-76578Critical
A flaw was found in FreeIPA. The self-managed OTP token ACI does not require authentication and does not restrict which attributes may be added alongside the token entry. An unauthenticated LDAP client can exploit this, combined with a related flaw in the underlying directory server's ACI evaluation (tracked separately), to create an arbitrary attacker-controlled Kerberos principal and have it added to the administrators group. This allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to obtain genuine FreeIPA administrator-group membership and perform administrative operations against the directory and, on SID-enabled deployments, other IdM services.
- CVE-2026-11861Critical
A flaw was found in FreeIPA. When a trust relationship is configured with Active Directory, AD users can bypass authentication for FreeIPA services by impersonating a client name in the TGS due to missing PAC certificate verification. This could allow an authenticated AD user to escalate privileges within the FreeIPA domain.
- CVE-2025-4404Critical
A privilege escalation from host to domain vulnerability was found in FreeIPA. The lack of uniqueness validation for the `krbCanonicalName` attribute of the admin account allows creating a service with the same canonical name as the REALM admin. A successful attack lets the attacker obtain a Kerberos ticket with admin@REALM credentials.
- CVE-2015-5284Critical
In FreeIPA before version 4.2.2, the ipa-kra-install script places the CA agent certificate and private key in /etc/httpd/alias/kra-agent.pem, which is world readable.
- CVE-2026-18147High
A DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the FreeIPA/IdM Web UI password reset page. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit it by enticing a victim to click a crafted link and complete a password reset, allowing injection and execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's session.
- CVE-2026-79678High
A flaw was found in FreeIPA's idp-add command, where insufficiently validated --organization/--base-url input reaches a constrained eval() call before the corresponding LDAP access control check is enforced. This allows any authenticated IPA principal, regardless of privilege level, to enumerate and read the environment variables of the affected server process and to cause denial of service via memory exhaustion.
- CVE-2026-73198High
A flaw in FreeIPA allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to exploit the `/ipa/i18n_messages` endpoint by sending an arbitrarily large request body, causing excessive memory consumption, memory exhaustion, and denial of service.
- CVE-2026-73197High
A flaw in FreeIPA allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to send oversized form POST requests to `/ipa/migration/migration.py`, forcing the migration handler to read attacker-controlled bodies fully into memory, leading to increased memory usage, slower handling, and potential DoS.
- CVE-2026-73196Medium
FreeIPA has a vulnerability due to lack of size limits for OTP key values. A low-privilege authenticated user can submit an oversized OTP key, causing excessive CPU and memory consumption, leading to denial of service.
- CVE-2026-13097High
A privilege escalation flaw was found in FreeIPA. The uniqueness constraint on Kerberos principal name attributes in the 389-ds directory server does not properly account for equivalent representations, allowing a user with LDAP write privileges to create a service principal that impersonates an existing privileged one. This can lead to unauthorized acquisition of Kerberos service tickets and potential full domain compromise.
- CVE-2026-19550High
A flaw was found in FreeIPA: the trust-fetch-domains command is gated by a read-only permission on the trust object rather than a trust-administration permission. This allows an authenticated, non-privileged IPA user to trigger a privileged Active Directory trust refresh using attacker-supplied server and credentials, resulting in unauthorized modification of trusted-domain and ID-range identity data in the IPA LDAP directory.
- CVE-2026-14612Medium
Two off-by-one errors in the FreeIPA ipa-otpd daemon's OAuth2 device authorization handler can cause out-of-bounds memory access when processing an oversized response from a configured external OAuth2/OIDC Identity Provider. An attacker who controls or can man-in-the-middle the IdP endpoint may be able to trigger ipa-otpd to write or read one byte past the end of a fixed-size buffer.
