Sssd: sssd: authorization bypass via cross-domain username collision in hbac evaluation

Published Oct 6, 2026 · Updated Nov 5, 2026 · Assigned by redhat

Description

A flaw was found in SSSD. In trust-enabled identity management environments, SSSD evaluates Host-Based Access Control (HBAC) rules by stripping domain qualifiers and comparing only short usernames. An authenticated user in a trusted domain who shares the same username as an authorized local account can bypass access policies and gain unauthorized access to protected services or hosts.
