medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 427719
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- corydolphin/flask-cors version 4.0.1 contains an improper regex path matching vulnerability. The plugin
prioritizes longer regex patterns over more specific ones when matching paths, which can lead to less
restrictive CORS policies being applied to sensitive endpoints. This mismatch in regex pattern priority
allows unauthorized cross-origin access to sensitive data or functionality, potentially exposing
confidential information and increasing the risk of unauthorized actions by malicious actors.
