Unauthenticated remote access to the cookies.txt file in MeTube (versions up to 2026.06.10) exposes yt-dlp session cookies via a direct HTTP request to the predictable path /download/.metube/cookies.txt. Any remote actor who can reach the MeTube instance can retrieve cookies potentially authenticating to YouTube or other streaming platforms, enabling session hijacking on those services. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The MeTube instance must have a populated cookies.txt file at the default path /download/.metube/cookies.txt - this file is only present when the operator has configured yt-dlp cookie authentication (a deliberate, non-default setup step required for accessing restricted content). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.5 with VC:L correctly scopes impact to cookie data disclosure rather than full system compromise. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker sends a single unauthenticated HTTP GET request to http://<metube-host>/download/.metube/cookies.txt and receives the plaintext Netscape-format cookies file in response. If the file contains valid YouTube or other streaming platform session tokens, the attacker imports them into a browser extension or yt-dlp instance and gains authenticated access to the victim's account. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade MeTube to version 2026.06.20 or later, which incorporates the fix introduced in commit ce897ee00903bf7ded406f0d7852d95dd4164add. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
