SCA: security update for Twisted (GHSA-jj36-9pvh-vj5r)
low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477622
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Twisted is an event-based framework for internet applications, supporting Python 3.6+. Prior to
26.10.0rc1, twisted.names.dns.DNSDatagramProtocol accepts a UDP DNS response for a pending query when its
16-bit transaction ID matches but does not verify that the response came from the queried host and port.
An attacker able to deliver a packet to the resolver's listening port with the correct transaction ID can
inject a forged answer. The standard twisted.names.client.Resolver uses a new random source port for each
query, increasing off-path attack complexity, while applications that reuse a DNSDatagramProtocol instance
expose only the transaction-ID search space after the first query. A successful forgery can redirect
hostname resolution and enable mail interception, server-side request forgery, or man-in-the-middle
positioning. This issue is fixed in version 26.10.0rc1. (CVE-2026-83813)
Solution
Update the Twisted library and its related packages to version 26.10.0rc1 or later.See Also
