CVE-2024-6866 (GCVE-0-2024-6866)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-03-20 10:10 – Updated: 2025-11-03 19:34
VLAI?
Summary
corydolphin/flask-cors version 4.01 contains a vulnerability where the request path matching is case-insensitive due to the use of the `try_match` function, which is originally intended for matching hosts. This results in a mismatch because paths in URLs are case-sensitive, but the regex matching treats them as case-insensitive. This misconfiguration can lead to significant security vulnerabilities, allowing unauthorized origins to access paths meant to be restricted, resulting in data exposure and potential data leaks.
Severity ?
