Spoofing attack due to unvalidated KDC

'node-krb5' is a node.js native add-on for simple krb5 user authentication.

Current implementation does not verify the Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC): it accepts a username/password from the user, then asks a KDC whether that password is correct for the corresponding Kerberos principal - without assurance that the response came from a real KDC.

How to fix Spoofing attack due to unvalidated KDC?

There's no official fix for the vulnerability. In the meanwhile, consider switching to a 'different npm module'.
