Summary
Terraform WinDNS Provider improperly sanitizes input variables in windns_record
Fixed versions:
v1.0.5
Impact
A security issue has been found in terraform-provider-windns before version 1.0.5. The windns_record resource did not santize the input variables. This can lead to authenticated command injection in the underlyding powershell command prompt.
Untrusted input is inserted into a command that is later executed by the application, allowing the attacker to alter the intent of that command. Typical impact: arbitrary command execution in the application's environment.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2025-46735? CVE-2025-46735 is a low-severity command injection vulnerability in github.com/nrkno/terraform-provider-windns (go), affecting versions <= 1.0.4. No fixed version is listed yet. Untrusted input is inserted into a command that is later executed by the application, allowing the attacker to alter the intent of that command.
- Which versions of github.com/nrkno/terraform-provider-windns are affected by CVE-2025-46735? github.com/nrkno/terraform-provider-windns (go) versions <= 1.0.4 is affected.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2025-46735? No fixed version is listed for CVE-2025-46735 yet. Monitor the advisory for updates and apply mitigations in the interim.
- Is CVE-2025-46735 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2025-46735 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether CVE-2025-46735 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
- How do I fix CVE-2025-46735? No fixed version is listed yet. In the interim: Avoid constructing commands from untrusted input. Use parameterized APIs that separate the command from its arguments.
