CVE-2023-0057Network attack vector

Unintended interface actions via missing X-Frame-Options

Published Jan 5, 2023 · Updated Apr 9, 2025

Clickjacking in the pyLoad web interface before 0.5.0b3.dev33 allows remote attackers to induce unintended actions via a crafted page. The Flask response pipeline returns web interface pages without an X-Frame-Options restriction, allowing another origin to embed and visually overlay them. Exploitation requires a user to visit the attacker's page and interact with the disguised interface; consequences are limited to data exposed or changed through that interface.
