CVE-2020-8625 is a vulnerability in BIND servers configured to use GSS-TSIG features, affecting versions 9.5.0 through 9.16.11, and specific BIND Supported Preview Edition and development branch versions. While the default configuration is not vulnerable, explicit configuration of tkey-gssapi-keytab or tkey-gssapi-credential can expose the flaw. This vulnerability carries a high CVSS score of 8.1, indicating a network attack vector with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, with remote code execution theoretically possible though unproven. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or KEV listing, but it has garnered some community discussion.
