CVE-2026-47691 is a DNS cache-poisoning vulnerability in Netty's DNS resolver prior to 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final. DnsResolveContext.AuthoritativeNameServerList#add accepts NS records in a DNS response AUTHORITY section when the record owner is a suffix of the queried name, rather than enforcing proper bailiwick restrictions. handleWithAdditional can then cache corresponding A records from the ADDITIONAL section in the authoritative DNS server cache under a parent-domain key. Consequently, a nameserver authoritative only for an attacker-controlled subdomain can cause Netty to treat attacker-supplied DNS infrastructure as authoritative for a parent domain.
