| Exploitation Conditions | Remote unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability without special conditions beyond network access to the Raindrop.io web application and knowledge or discovery of how extension identifiers are validated. The vulnerability requires neither authentication nor user interaction. It affects all users of Raindrop.io version 5.6.76.0 who have the web app deployed and accessible. The primary limiting factor is that attackers must correctly format a request that mimics legitimate extension communication, which may require reverse-engineering the extension-to-web-app communication protocol through browser developer tools or GitHub research (as indicated by the public research link). Non-vulnerable configurations would require cryptographic extension ID signing or strict whitelisting of known extension IDs at the server level, rather than accepting arbitrary identifiers. Default Raindrop.io installations without additional hardening are vulnerable. |
| Impact | CVSS 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N) indicates network-accessible exploitation with low attack complexity and no authentication required, yielding medium real-world risk. The EPSS score and active exploitation status are not provided in available data. The primary concern is the combination of network accessibility and lack of user interaction requirements, which significantly lowers the barrier to exploitation. However, CVSS does not capture the actual exploitability of extension identifier validation flaws, which typically require knowledge of legitimate extension IDs or discovery of valid identifiers through reconnaissance. The low confidentiality and integrity impact (C:L/I:L) suggests the attacker gains partial access to user data or can make limited unauthorized modifications, not complete system compromise. The absence of availability impact (A:N) indicates this is not a denial-of-service vector. The information disclosure component (per tags) is the primary threat. Without confirmation of active exploitation or public POC accessibility, the real-world risk is moderate - security teams should prioritize remediation but not treat as critical emergency. The nature of a web app vulnerability (not native code) also limits the severity compared to system-level flaws. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker performs reconnaissance to identify valid Chrome extension IDs used by Raindrop.io or discovers that the application accepts arbitrary extension identifiers. The attacker crafts an HTTP request to a sensitive Raindrop.io API endpoint (e.g., user data export, bookmark list retrieval) with a forged extension identifier in the request header or body, bypassing the insufficient validation logic. The server, trusting the identifier without cryptographic verification, returns sensitive user data such as bookmarks, user preferences, or metadata. The attacker extracts and exfiltrates this information. No user interaction is required because the request is sent directly to the server, not through a user's browser, enabling large-scale automated exploitation. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 22, 2026
Raindrop.io Bookmark Manager Web App version 5.6.76.0 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to obtain sensitive user data through insufficient validation of Chrome extension identifiers in crafted requests. The vulnerability exploits improper input validation (CWE-20) to bypass security controls, enabling information disclosure with low integrity impact. No active exploitation has been confirmed in CISA KEV, but publicly available vulnerability research exists on GitHub.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Raindrop.io Bookmark Manager Web App to a patched version beyond 5.6.76.0 as provided by Raindrop.io. No specific fix version is identified in available advisory data, so contact Raindrop.io support or check their GitHub releases page for the earliest available update after the vulnerability disclosure date. Until patching is possible, implement strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers that restrict extension communication and enforce same-origin policies, explicitly whitelisting only known, legitimate Chrome extension IDs in a server-side configuration file rather than accepting user-supplied identifiers. Disable or restrict the Chrome extension integration feature entirely if it is not critical to operations; this eliminates the attack surface but may impact functionality. Implement request signing using cryptographic keys shared between the web app and legitimate extensions, not just identifier validation. Monitor HTTP logs for requests with suspicious or invalid extension identifiers (pattern-based detection of non-standard ID formats) and block IPs exhibiting exploitation attempts. Note that CSP and request signing add latency to legitimate extension communication, and disabling the feature may degrade user experience for extension users.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability resides in the extension identifier validation mechanism used by Raindrop.io's web application to communicate with or authenticate Chrome extensions. Chrome extensions operate under a distinct security model with unique identifiers (extension IDs) that should be cryptographically validated before trusting requests claiming to originate from extensions. The root cause is CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation), which allows attackers to craft requests with forged or manipulated extension identifiers that bypass the application's validation logic. This is exacerbated by potential CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) misconfigurations, as referenced in the Mozilla documentation links, which could allow unauthorized cross-origin requests to access sensitive endpoints. The attack surface includes any API endpoint or feature that accepts extension identifiers without proper cryptographic verification or whitelisting.
