Answer in brief
CVE-2026-1519 records a High severity (CVSS 7.5) vulnerability in Excessive NSEC3 iterations cause high CPU load during insecure delegation validation. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps ISC/BIND 9 (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.

If a BIND resolver is performing DNSSEC validation and encounters a maliciously crafted zone, the resolver may consume excessive CPU. Authoritative-only servers are generally unaffected, although there are circumstances where authoritative servers may make recursive queries (see: https://kb.isc.org/docs/why-does-my-authoritative-server-make-recursive-queries). This issue affects BIND 9 versions 9.11.0 through 9.16.50, 9.18.0 through 9.18.46, 9.20.0 through 9.20.20, 9.21.0 through 9.21.19, 9.11.3-S1 through 9.16.50-S1, 9.18.11-S1 through 9.18.46-S1, and 9.20.9-S1 through 9.20.20-S1.
