RISK

Why arvan_import_dns_zone is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies DNS records at scale by importing them from a zone file. While reversible (records can be deleted or updated later), it has significant blast radius: misconfigured DNS imports could redirect traffic, break services, or enable DNS hijacking. A single malicious zone file could compromise the entire DNS infrastructure of multiple domains.

From the tool's definition Import DNS records from a BIND-style zone file — 'import' modifies DNS zone configuration by adding/updating records from an external source
