Configuration: DNS record loopback¶

Identifier: loopback

Scanner(s) Support¶

GraphQL Scanner	REST Scanner	WebApp Scanner	ASM Scanner

Description¶

DNS records pointing to loopback addresses can cause connectivity issues and should be avoided as they prevent proper DNS resolution.

How we test: We query DNS records and analyze the returned IP addresses to detect if any records point to loopback addresses (127.0.0.1 or ::1). We verify if DNS configuration is properly set up to avoid loopback addresses in public DNS records.
