Published:September 08, 2026
Updated:September 22, 2026
A flaw was found in Dogtag PKI, as used by FreeIPA's certificate authority component.

An authenticated user with CA Administrator privileges can exploit Dogtag's ExternalProcessConstraint mechanism to execute arbitrary commands with attacker-controlled environment variables, achieving code execution as the pkiuser account.
