Real, but low real-world risk
A genuine vulnerability on paper, but EPSS shows little real-world exploitation — the base score may overstate urgency. This is not the same as a false positive.

LightRAG provides simple and fast retrieval-augmented generation. Prior to 1.5.4, the server defaults to CORS_ORIGINS=* combined with allow_credentials=True in lightrag/api/lightrag_server.py, causing Starlette CORSMiddleware to effectively whitelist every origin for credentialed cross-origin requests. Any malicious website visited by an authenticated LightRAG user can silently make authenticated API requests, exfiltrating documents and knowledge graph data or performing destructive actions such as deleting the document store. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.5.4.

This scores high on paper (CVSS 9.3) but the real-world signal is low. It is not in CISA KEV and no public exploit was found, and near-term exploitation looks unlikely (EPSS about 0%). Verify your own exposure before treating it as urgent. It is reachable over the network with no authentication. Not an emergency for most teams, but patch it in your normal cycle and check whether the affected component is actually exposed in your setup.

PraisonAI before 1.5.128 contains a cross-origin agent execution vulnerability in the AGUI endpoint that allows remote attackers to trigger arbitrary agent execution. The POST /agui endpoint lacks authentication and hardcodes Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * headers, combined with Starlette's Content-Type-agnostic JSON parsing, enabling attackers to bypass CORS preflight checks via simple requests and exfiltrate sensitive agent responses including tool execution results and environment data.

- CVE-2025-55462MED 6.5EPSS 0%
A CORS misconfiguration in Eramba Community and Enterprise Editions v3.26.0 allows an attacker-controlled Origin header to be reflected in the Access-Control-Allow-Origin response along with Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true. This permits malicious third-party websites to perform authenticated cross-origin requests against the Eramba API, including endpoints like /system-api/login and /system-api/user/me. The response includes sensitive user session data (ID, name, email, access groups), which is accessible to the attacker's JavaScript. This flaw enables full session hijack and data exfiltration without user interaction. Eramba versions 3.23.3 and earlier were tested and appear unaffected. The vulnerability is present in default installations, requiring no custom configuration.
- CVE-2026-62387HIGH 7.1Real · low riskEPSS 0%
The Grav API plugin (getgrav/grav-plugin-api) before 1.0.0-rc.16 shipped Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * as its default CORS configuration on all responses, including authenticated endpoints and preflight (OPTIONS) responses. Because the plugin accepts credentials via the Authorization and X-API-Token headers (set programmatically by JavaScript rather than via cookies), an attacker who obtains a valid access token (e.g., via log leakage, Referer headers, browser history, or network capture) can issue fully authenticated cross-origin requests from any malicious website to read sensitive data and perform write operations as the token's user. Fixed in 1.0.0-rc.16.
