GHSA-f5pf-q7c7-m3vv: Pixeldrain API key shared with unverified thirdparty sites
The cyberdrop-dl-patched tool versions 8.5.0 up to but not including 9.14.0 could leak a user's Pixeldrain API key to unverified third-party hosts. This occurs because the tool matches URLs by substring and uses the host from the input URL for API requests without strict validation, allowing malicious domains containing 'pixeldrain' as a substring to receive the API key in the Authorization header. Version 9.14.0 fixes this by enforcing exact domain matching. Users who have used Pixeldrain API keys with affected versions should consider those keys compromised and delete them.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
cyberdrop-dl-patched versions >=8.5.0 <9.14.0 have a vulnerability where the Pixeldrain API key can be leaked to malicious domains. The tool matches URLs to crawlers based on substring matching of the host, so a malicious domain containing 'pixeldrain' can cause the tool to send API requests including the Authorization header with the user's API key to that malicious host. This occurs because the host used for API requests is taken directly from the input URL without exact domain verification. The vulnerability is fixed in version 9.14.0 by rejecting Pixeldrain URLs whose host does not exactly match an official domain.
Potential Impact
Attackers controlling malicious domains with names containing 'pixeldrain' could receive the user's Pixeldrain API key via the Authorization header, potentially allowing unauthorized access to the user's Pixeldrain account. Any user of cyberdrop-dl-patched with an API key on affected versions who processes URLs from untrusted sources risks key exposure. The compromise of API keys could lead to unauthorized data access or actions within the Pixeldrain service.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade cyberdrop-dl-patched to version 9.14.0 or later, which enforces exact domain matching for Pixeldrain URLs and prevents API key leakage. Users who have used Pixeldrain API keys with affected versions should consider those keys compromised and delete them from their Pixeldrain account. No other workarounds are recommended.
