CVE-2026-34531

medium

Flask-HTTPAuth provides Basic, Digest and Token HTTP authentication for Flask routes. Prior to version 4.8.1, in a situation where the client makes a request to a token protected resource without passing a token, or passing an empty token, Flask-HTTPAuth would invoke the application's token verification callback function with the token argument set to an empty string. If the application had any users in its database with an empty string set as their token, then it could potentially authenticate the client request against any of those users. This issue has been patched in version 4.8.1.

exploitability
Attack Vector
Network
Attack Vector (AV:N): exploitable remotely over the network — most dangerous. no physical or adjacent access needed.
Attack Complexity
High
Attack Complexity (AC:H): exploitation requires specific conditions outside the attacker's control (race condition, non-default config, etc).
Privileges Required
None
Privileges Required (PR:N): no authentication needed. any anonymous attacker can exploit this.
User Interaction
None
User Interaction (UI:N): no victim action needed. fully exploitable without user interaction.

Scope
Unchanged
Scope (S:U): impact limited to the vulnerable component.
Confidentiality
Low
Confidentiality (C:L): limited data exposure. some restricted information can be read.
Integrity
High
Integrity (I:H): complete data modification possible. attacker can modify any data.
