Summary

BunkerWeb is an open-source, next-generation Web Application Firewall. Prior to 1.6.13, the blacklist, greylist, and antibot modules in src/common/core/blacklist/blacklist.lua, src/common/core/greylist/greylist.lua, and src/common/core/antibot/antibot.lua trust PTR suffix matches in IGNORE_RDNS, GREYLIST_RDNS, and ANTIBOT_IGNORE_RDNS without using get_ips to confirm that the hostname resolves to the client address. An unauthenticated remote attacker who controls a PTR record can spoof a trusted suffix to bypass rDNS-based blacklisting, gain greylist treatment, or skip an antibot challenge. This issue is fixed in version 1.6.13.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.

The maintainers of bunkerity/bunkerweb published their own advisory on GitHub. Reviewed sources take precedence over it.
