CVE-2026-35490

CRITICAL CVSS 3.1: 9.8 EPSS 0.03%
Updated Apr 09, 2026
Flask
Parameter Value
CVSS 9.8 (CRITICAL)
Fixed In 0.54.8
Type CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization)
Vendor Flask
Public PoC No

changedetection.io is a free open source web page change detection tool. Prior to 0.54.8, the @login_optionally_required decorator is placed before (outer to) @blueprint.route() instead of after it. In Flask, @route() must be the outermost decorator because it registers the function it receives.

When the order is reversed, @route() registers the original undecorated function, and the auth wrapper is never in the call chain. This silently disables authentication on these routes. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.54.8.
