CVE-2026-46431

Beschreibung

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.
