"It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2025-2901 advisory.

    A privilege escalation from host to domain vulnerability was found in the FreeIPA project. The FreeIPA
    package fails to validate the uniqueness of the `krbCanonicalName` for the admin account by default,
    allowing users to create services with the same canonical name as the REALM admin. When a successful
    attack happens, the user can retrieve a Kerberos ticket in the name of this service, containing the
    admin@REALM credential. This flaw allows an attacker to perform administrative tasks over the REALM,
    leading to access to sensitive data and sensitive data exfiltration. (CVE-2025-4404)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
