CVE-2026-35491
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
FTLDNS (pihole-FTL) provides an interactive API and also generates statistics for Pi-hole's Web interface. From 6.0 to before 6.6, Pi-hole FTL supports a CLI password feature (webserver.api.cli_pw) that creates “CLI” API sessions intended to be read-only for configuration changes. While /api/config correctly blocks CLI sessions from mutating configuration, /api/teleporter allowed Teleporter imports for CLI sessions, enabling a CLI-scoped session to overwrite configuration via a Teleporter archive (authorization bypass). This vulnerability is fixed in 6.6.

"value": "FTLDNS (pihole-FTL) proporciona una API interactiva y también genera estadísticas para la interfaz web de Pi-hole. Desde la 6.0 hasta antes de la 6.6, Pi-hole FTL soporta una característica de contraseña CLI (webserver.api.cli_pw) que crea sesiones de API ’CLI’ destinadas a ser de solo lectura para cambios de configuración. Mientras que /api/config bloquea correctamente las sesiones CLI de mutar la configuración, /api/teleporter permitía importaciones de Teleporter para sesiones CLI, permitiendo que una sesión con ámbito CLI sobrescribiera la configuración a través de un archivo de Teleporter (omisión de autorización). Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en la 6.6."
