Critical CVSS 9.3
CVE-2026-52842
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.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network and without authentication — but only if a user opens booby-trapped content.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data and modify or destroy data. The impact spreads beyond the vulnerable component into other parts of the system.
- Weakness
- A request’s origin is not validated, letting a third-party site act on the user’s behalf.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
