FORT Validator is a Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) relying-party validator that produces validated route-origin data. FORT Validator versions through 1.6.7 contain an origin-validation error in their RRDP processing: a delegated CA under the same Trust Anchor Locator (TAL) can reference a victim CA’s public RRDP notification and snapshot URLs, causing FORT’s URL-based download cache to report success after deleting the victim’s local snapshot. Following a routine victim publication, this can silently remove the victim’s VRPs and other signed objects from FORT’s output, potentially enabling route hijacking or loss of reachability. Version 1.6.8 contains a patch that rejects cross-origin RRDP snapshot and delta URLs; as a workaround, administrators can disable HTTP/RRDP with --http.enabled=false while keeping rsync enabled, although this can leave data unavailable or stale where rsync is not supported.
AnalysisAI
Cross-origin RRDP URL confusion in FORT Validator through 1.6.7 allows a delegated Certificate Authority sharing the same Trust Anchor Locator to silently poison the validator's download cache, causing the victim CA's Validated ROA Payloads and signed objects to be purged from FORT's routing origin validation output. The resulting VRP gaps - triggered passively by the victim's own routine publication cycle - can enable BGP route hijacking or loss of network reachability for the affected IP prefixes. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to control a delegated Certificate Authority that shares the same Trust Anchor Locator (TAL) as the victim CA within the RPKI hierarchy - this is the explicit AT:P (Attack Requirements: Present) condition in the CVSS 4.0 vector, meaning the attacker must hold a legitimate CA credential issued by the same RPKI trust anchor (e.g., ARIN, RIPE NCC, APNIC) that the victim operator uses. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:L/SC:N/SI:H/SA:H) scores 7.2, reflecting low attack complexity once preconditions are met, high integrity impact on the FORT instance itself (VI:H), and high integrity and availability impact on subsequent systems (SI:H/SA:H) - specifically the BGP routing infrastructure consuming FORT's VRP output. … 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 | The primary remediation is upgrading FORT Validator to version 1.6.8, which introduces validation logic that rejects cross-origin RRDP snapshot and delta URLs, eliminating the origin confusion at the cache layer. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
