CVE-2026-52842
Last modified
CVE-2026-52842 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.3/10 on the CVSS scale. Lightpanda is a headless browser designed for AI and automation. Prior to 0.3.1, Lightpanda searched for @ across the entire URL string instead of only the authority component when computing a page origin, so a URL such as `http://attacker.com/@victim.com/` was fetched from attacker.com but treated as `http://victim.com`, allowing a complete Same-Origin Policy bypass.
