Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was detected in Trusted Domain Project OpenDMARC up to 1.4.2. Affected is the function opendmarc_policy_query_dmarc of the component Multi-Record Set Handler. The manipulation results in authentication bypass by spoofing. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
AnalysisAI
DMARC authentication bypass in Trusted Domain Project OpenDMARC through 1.4.2 lets a remote attacker defeat the DMARC anti-spoofing check by supplying a multi-record DMARC TXT set that the Multi-Record Set Handler evaluates more permissively than RFC 7489 requires. The affected mail server must run OpenDMARC as its DMARC verifier and the attacker must control or influence DNS for the spoofed sender domain; no credentials or user interaction are required (PR:N/UI:N), though the resulting impact is limited to forged mail passing DMARC rather than host compromise. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target mail server run OpenDMARC (<=1.4.2) as its DMARC verifier and that the attacker be able to serve or influence multiple DMARC TXT records for the spoofed sender's domain (i.e., control that domain's DNS or an on-path DNS response). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals are moderate and internally consistent, pointing to a real but low-impact email-authentication weakness rather than a top-tier priority. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch was identified at time of analysis, and the vendor did not respond to early notification, so remediation must be compensating rather than version-based. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
