CVE-2026-40471: CWE-352 Cross-Site request forgery (CSRF)
CVE-2026-40471 is a critical Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in hackage-server version 0. 1. The server lacks CSRF protections on its endpoints, allowing scripts from foreign sites to trigger requests that could abuse credentials to upload packages or perform administrative actions. Some unauthenticated actions, such as creating new user accounts, are also vulnerable. The vulnerability has a high CVSS score of 9. 6, indicating severe impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The hackage-server version 0.1 suffers from a CSRF vulnerability (CWE-352) due to missing CSRF protections across its endpoints. This allows attackers to craft malicious web requests from foreign sites that can execute actions on behalf of authenticated users or exploit unauthenticated endpoints. Potential impacts include unauthorized package uploads, administrative actions, and creation of new user accounts. The vulnerability is rated critical with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.6, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, scope change, and high impact on confidentiality and integrity with low impact on availability. There is no vendor advisory or patch information available at this time.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized administrative actions such as uploading malicious packages or creating new user accounts, potentially compromising the integrity and confidentiality of the hackage-server environment. The vulnerability affects both authenticated and unauthenticated endpoints, increasing the attack surface. The critical CVSS score (9.6) reflects the high severity and potential for significant impact if exploited.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider implementing manual CSRF protections such as validating origin headers or using anti-CSRF tokens where possible. Restricting access to the server endpoints and minimizing exposure to untrusted networks may reduce risk. Monitor official vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
