CVE-2026-19550 PUBLISHED

Freeipa: ipa: freeipa: trust-fetch-domains uses trust-read aci to gate a privileged ad trust refresh, allowing unauthorized ldap writes

Assigner: redhat
Reserved: 11.08.2026 Published: 11.08.2026 Updated: 11.08.2026

A flaw was found in FreeIPA. The trust-fetch-domains command is gated by a read-only permission on the trust object rather than a trust-administration permission, allowing an authenticated, non-privileged IPA user to trigger a privileged Active Directory trust refresh using an attacker-supplied server and credentials, resulting in unauthorized, attacker-controlled modification of trusted-domain and ID-range identity data in the IPA LDAP directory.

Workarounds

Administrators of IdM/FreeIPA servers with an Active Directory trust configured can reduce exposure by restricting the default "System: Read Trust Information" permission so it is no longer granted to all authenticated users. This is a suggested compensating control, and should be tested before applying in production, since "System: Read Trust Information" may be relied on by other legitimate read-only lookups (e.g. SSSD subdomain support, per the permission's own code comment).
