CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins. In versions prior to 1.14.3, the tsig plugin can be bypassed on non-plain-DNS transports (DoT, DoH, DoH3, DoQ, and gRPC) because it trusts the transport writer's TsigStatus() instead of performing verification itself. The DoH and DoH3 writer's TsigStatus() always returns nil, the DoT server does not set TsigSecret on the dns.Server, and the DoQ and gRPC writers also unconditionally return nil. This allows an unauthenticated remote client to bypass TSIG-based authentication and access resources intended to be restricted behind a tsig require all policy. Plain DNS over TCP and UDP are not affected. This issue has been fixed in version 1.14.3.
CVE-2026-33190
This high-severity CVE scores 7.5 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.1%, top 75% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
