CVE-2026-25478

Litestar is an Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface (ASGI) framework. Prior to 2.20.0, CORSConfig.allowed_origins_regex is constructed using a regex built from configured allowlist values and used with fullmatch() for validation. Because metacharacters are not escaped, a malicious origin can match unexpectedly. The check relies on allowed_origins_regex.fullmatch(origin). This vulnerability is fixed in 2.20.0.

Summary
  • (es) Litestar es un framework de Interfaz de Pasarela de Servidor Asíncrono (ASGI). Antes de la versión 2.20.0, CORSConfig.allowed_origins_regex se construye utilizando una expresión regular (regex) creada a partir de los valores de la lista de permitidos (allowlist) configurados y se usa con fullmatch() para la validación. Debido a que los metacaracteres no se escapan, un origen malicioso puede coincidir de forma inesperada. La comprobación se basa en allowed_origins_regex.fullmatch(origin).
