Exposure of Sensitive Information Due to Incompatible Policies

CVE-2023-40570

Medium
5.3/10

Summary

Datasette is an open-source multi-tool for exploring and publishing data. This vulnerability affects Datasette instances running a Datasette in versions 1.0a0 through 1.0a3 in an online accessible location but with authentication enabled using a plugin such as dataset-auth-passwords. The `/-/api` API explorer endpoint could reveal the names of both databases and tables - but not their contents - to an unauthenticated user. This will block access to the API explorer but will still allow access to the Datasette read or write JSON APIs, as those use different URL patterns within the Datasette `/database` hierarchy.
