Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
An information disclosure vulnerability in the configuration endpoint of Ben Busby whoogle-search v1.2.3 allows attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted GET request.
AnalysisAI
Information disclosure in Whoogle Search v1.2.3 lets remote unauthenticated attackers retrieve sensitive data by sending a crafted GET request to the application's configuration endpoint. The flaw carries a CVSS 7.5 (high, confidentiality-only) rating, and publicly available exploit code exists via a published gist, though it is not listed in CISA KEV and its EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.15%, 4th percentile).
Technical ContextAI
Whoogle Search is a self-hosted, privacy-focused metasearch front-end (a Flask/Python application) that proxies Google results without ads or tracking, typically run by individuals or small teams in Docker or on a personal server. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor), meaning the configuration endpoint returns data that should not be accessible to unauthenticated callers. Because the exposure is reachable over the network with a simple GET request, it maps to the class of flaws where an endpoint fails to enforce authorization or scopes returned data too broadly. Note that the supplied CPE string (cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a) is a placeholder and does not usefully identify the product; the affected component is identified from the CVE description as the Whoogle Search config endpoint.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; no fix version is present in the provided data, so do not upgrade blindly to an unverified version number. As specific compensating controls: place the Whoogle Search instance behind an authenticating reverse proxy (e.g., require HTTP basic auth or SSO at nginx/Traefik) so the configuration endpoint is not reachable by unauthenticated clients - trade-off is added login friction for legitimate users. Alternatively, restrict network access to the config endpoint via firewall/ACL or bind the service to localhost/VPN only, accepting reduced public accessibility. If the deployment supports it, set the WHOOGLE_CONFIG_DISABLE or equivalent option to lock configuration, and rotate any secrets (API keys, credentials) that the endpoint may have exposed. Monitor the project's GitHub (github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search) for an official patched release and apply it once a tagged version is confirmed. The exploit gist (https://gist.github.com/pyuysig/b15055668de5fa09d08448ce830bba10) can be used to test whether your instance is exposed.
