Authenticated source-IP spoofing via overbroad remote CIDR
Published Oct 23, 2025 · Updated Oct 23, 2025
Source-IP spoofing in Slack Technologies Nebula 1.9.4 through 1.9.6 allows remote authenticated users to impersonate overlay hosts. HostInfo.CreateRemoteCIDR uses each certificate IP entry's subnet mask when building remoteCidr instead of the address bit length, admitting the entire overlay subnet. Control of a node holding a certificate with unsafe routes or multiple IP addresses is required; spoofed UDP or TCP reset packets pass source validation, but return traffic remains routed to the legitimate peer.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
