Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity in the DnsResolveContext.AuthoritativeNameServerList#add function. An attacker can inject malicious NS and A records into the DNS cache by controlling an authoritative name server for a subdomain and providing NS records that claim authority over a parent domain, leading to unauthorized redirection or interception of DNS queries for affected domains.
