validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-vvf4-9x63-8xvv ↗EUVD-2026-125726 ↗
description
dnspython versions before 2.9.2 can consume excessive memory and CPU while parsing WKS records in zone-file text. An attacker may cause a denial of service if the application parses zone-file record types and RDATA that the attacker controls.
mitigation
Upgrade dnspython to version 2.9.2 or later. Until upgraded, do not parse attacker-controlled zone-file text or restrict untrusted WKS records.
fixed in 2.9.2
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
