Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jun 5, 2026 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Jul 17, 2026

Package

pip sanic-cors (pip)

Affected versions

<= 2.2.0

Patched versions

None

Description

sanic-cors version 2.2.0 and prior contains an improper regular expression in the try_match() function in sanic_cors/core.py that uses re.match without end-anchoring. This allows an attacker to bypass CORS origin allowlists by registering a domain that begins with a trusted origin string, to gain unauthorized access to cross-origin requests for authenticated resources.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
