In versions 0.8.6rc0 and prior, the /add/ endpoint (AddView in core/views.py) accepts a config JSON field that gets merged into the crawl config without validation. This config is exported as environment variables when archive plugins run, allowing injection of arbitrary tool arguments to achieve RCE. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":9.3},"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":["CWE-88"],"references":["https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/security/advisories/GHSA-3h23-7824-pj8r","https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/security/advisories/GHSA-3h23-7824-pj8r"],"products":["archivebox:archivebox"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:33:55.586217763+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-42601","score":0.00404,"percentile":0.34623,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-3h23-7824-pj8r","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-3h23-7824-pj8r","summary":"ArchiveBox Vulnerable to RCE via unvalidated per-crawl config overrides in AddView","modified":"2026-07-07T13:15:14.338224782Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"archivebox","purl":"pkg:pypi/archivebox","ranges":["<=0.8.6rc0"],"fixed":[]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2026-283","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2026-283","summary":"ArchiveBox Vulnerable to RCE via unvalidated per-crawl config overrides in AddView","modified":"2026-07-01T20:22:49.438749Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"archivebox","purl":"pkg:pypi/archivebox","ranges":["<=0.8.6rc0"],"fixed":[]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
