DescriptionGitHub Advisory

wlc is a Weblate command-line client using Weblate's REST API. Prior to 1.17.0, wlc supported providing unscoped API keys in the setting. This practice was discouraged for years, but the code was never removed. This might cause the API key to be leaked to different servers.

AnalysisAI

Wlc versions prior to 1.17.0 fail to restrict unscoped API keys, allowing them to be transmitted to unintended Weblate servers and potentially leaked to attackers with local access or through compromised credentials. A local attacker with user privileges could exploit this information disclosure to gain unauthorized access to Weblate instances across multiple servers. A patch is available in version 1.17.0 and later.
