CVE-2026-63175: CWE-613 Insufficient Session Expiration in Lookyloo PlaywrightCapture
CVE-2026-63175 is a vulnerability in Lookyloo's PlaywrightCapture where capture-specific data is stored as mutable class-level variables instead of instance-level variables. This causes multiple capture objects in the same Python process to share state, potentially leaking authentication cookies, credentials, browser storage, and request data between captures. This can lead to unauthorized access or interference between capture operations. The issue affects versions up to and including 1.40.2. The vulnerability is rated high severity with a CVSS score of 7.1. The flaw is resolved by isolating state per capture instance in the constructor.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
PlaywrightCapture in Lookyloo improperly stores capture-specific configuration and runtime data as mutable class-level variables rather than instance variables. This design flaw allows multiple Capture objects running concurrently or sequentially in the same Python process to share sensitive state such as HTTP headers, cookies, credentials, proxy settings, and captured request data. As a result, information from one capture can leak into another, risking disclosure of authentication data and enabling unauthorized access or interference with other capture operations. The vulnerability affects versions up to and including 1.40.2. The fix involves initializing all capture-specific data as instance variables in the Capture constructor to ensure isolation between capture operations.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability can lead to disclosure of sensitive authentication cookies, credentials, browser storage, and captured request data across different capture sessions. It may also cause requests to be executed with another capture's authentication context or proxy configuration, potentially enabling unauthorized access to remote resources or interference with other users' capture operations. This compromises confidentiality and integrity of captured data in multi-user or concurrent deployments.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. The vulnerability is resolved by initializing capture-specific settings and data as instance variables to isolate state between captures. Until an official fix is available, avoid running multiple concurrent captures within the same Python process or isolate capture operations to prevent state sharing.
