NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-flask-cors package and not the python-flask-cors package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.
corydolphin/flask-cors version 4.01 contains a vulnerability where the request path matching is case-insensitive due to the use of the try_match function, which is originally intended for matching hosts. This results in a mismatch because paths in URLs are case-sensitive, but the regex matching treats them as case-insensitive. This misconfiguration can lead to significant security vulnerabilities, allowing unauthorized origins to access paths meant to be restricted, resulting in data exposure and potential data leaks.
