Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
RansomLook exposed sensitive operator-side scraping configuration through multiple unauthenticated API responses. Location records associated with ransomware groups and markets were returned largely verbatim to unauthenticated callers whenever the location itself was not marked as private.
These records could contain internal fields such as header, which may include authentication headers, session cookies, or other credentials used to access monitored websites; init_script, which may contain logic used to bypass CAPTCHA, anti-bot protections, or paywalls; and browser, which discloses details about the scraping environment.
An unauthenticated remote attacker could query the affected API endpoints and obtain these values. Leaked authentication material could potentially be replayed against the monitored service, while disclosure of scraping and bypass logic could allow site operators or other attackers to identify and defeat RansomLook's collection mechanisms.
The patch introduces an explicit allowlist of fields permitted in public location records and strips all operator-side fields before returning data to unauthenticated users.
The accompanying change from <string:postname> to <path:postname> appears to be a functional correction allowing legitimate post titles containing / and does not, based on this patch alone, represent the security issue.
AnalysisAI
Sensitive scraping credentials and bypass logic were exposed to unauthenticated callers through multiple RansomLook API endpoints. Location records associated with monitored ransomware groups and markets were returned verbatim - including the header field containing authentication tokens and session cookies, the init_script field holding CAPTCHA and anti-bot bypass logic, and browser metadata revealing the scraping environment - whenever a location was not explicitly marked private. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | No special conditions are required for a remote unauthenticated attacker to retrieve the sensitive fields - the only implicit condition is that a given location record must not have been explicitly marked private by the operator (location.get('private') is not True). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N) is internally consistent with the description: unauthenticated network access, no complexity or preconditions, and high confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability effect. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker queries RansomLook's public-facing API endpoint for group or market location data - for example, GET /api/v1/group/<name>/locations - without supplying any credentials. The response includes the unredacted `header` field containing HTTP authentication headers or session cookies used by RansomLook to access the monitored site. … |
| Remediation | The primary fix is to update RansomLook from the upstream repository to a commit at or after cc9182930306ff36c7b3424817d49f18df3c85d1, available at https://github.com/RansomLook/RansomLook/commit/cc9182930306ff36c7b3424817d49f18df3c85d1. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, immediately revoke all authentication tokens and session cookies exposed through the affected API endpoints, review access logs for unauthorized activity, and notify all dependent systems to re-authenticate with fresh credentials. …
