CVE-2026-43644
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
podinfo through 6.11.2 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the /echo and /api/echo endpoints where the echoHandler writes request body content directly to the response without setting explicit Content-Type or X-Content-Type-Options headers. Attackers can craft cross-origin HTML pages with auto-submitting forms containing script payloads in the request body, which are served as text/html due to Go's content type detection, allowing the reflected script to execute in the podinfo origin context when victims visit the attacker's page.

Los atacantes pueden crear páginas HTML de origen cruzado con formularios de envío automático que contienen cargas útiles de script en el cuerpo de la solicitud, que se sirven como text/html debido a la detección de tipo de contenido de Go, permitiendo que el script reflejado se ejecute en el contexto de origen de podinfo cuando las víctimas visitan la página del atacante."
