CVE-2026-52842

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Lightpanda is a headless browser designed for AI and automation. Prior to 0.3.1, Lightpanda searched for @ across the entire URL string instead of only the authority component when computing a page origin, so a URL such as `http://attacker.com/@victim.com/` was fetched from attacker.com but treated as `http://victim.com`, allowing a complete Same-Origin Policy bypass. This issue is fixed in version 0.3.1.

Antes de la versión 0.3.1, Lightpanda buscaba ’@’ en toda la cadena de la URL en lugar de solo en el componente de autoridad al calcular el origen de una página, así, una URL como “http://atacante.com/@victim.com/” se obtenía de atacante.com pero se trataba como “http://victim.com”, lo que permitía una elusión completa de la Política del Mismo Origen. Este problema está solucionado en la versión 0.3.1."
