CVE-2025-32802 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade isc-projects/kea to version 2.4.2, 2.6.3, 2.7.9 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to External Control of File Name or Path via the configuration and API directives. An attacker can overwrite arbitrary files by manipulating the API entry points and control socket configurations. This is only exploitable if the API is left unsecured and the control sockets are placed in insecure paths.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling the kea-ctrl-agent and removing any "control-socket" stanzas from the Kea configuration files, or by requiring authentication for the kea-ctrl-agent and configuring all "control-socket" stanzas to use a directory restricted to only trusted users.
