CVE-2025-24369 (GCVE-0-2025-24369)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-01-27 22:57 – Updated: 2025-01-28 15:18
VLAI?
Summary
Anubis is a tool that allows administrators to protect bots against AI scrapers through bot-checking heuristics and a proof-of-work challenge to discourage scraping from multiple IP addresses. Anubis allows attackers to bypass the bot protection by requesting a challenge, formulates any nonce (such as 42069), and then passes the challenge with difficulty zero. Commit e09d0226a628f04b1d80fd83bee777894a45cd02 fixes this behavior by not using a client-specified difficulty value.
