CVE-2026-46431
Algernon is a small self-contained pure-Go web server. Prior to 1.17.7, the SSE event server's Access-Control-Allow-Origin response header was hardcoded to the wildcard * regardless of the caller's Origin. Because EventSource does not preflight and does not send cookies, the wildcard is sufficient to let any third-party page the developer visits open a cross-origin EventSource to the SSE port and read the live filename stream from JavaScript. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.17.7.

Antes de la 1.17.7, el encabezado de respuesta Access-Control-Allow-Origin del servidor de eventos SSE estaba codificado de forma rígida al comodín * independientemente del Origin del llamador. Debido a que EventSource no realiza una solicitud de pre-vuelo y no envía cookies, el comodín es suficiente para permitir que cualquier página de terceros que el desarrollador visite abra un EventSource de origen cruzado al puerto SSE y lea el flujo de nombres de archivo en vivo desde JavaScript. Esta vulnerabilidad está corregida en la 1.17.7."
