Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
LightRAG versions before 1.5.4 default to a CORS setting of wildcard origins combined with credentials allowed, so the server echoes any requesting origin for credentialed cross-origin requests. A malicious website visited by a logged-in LightRAG user can make authenticated API calls, potentially reading documents and knowledge graph data or deleting the document store. Upgrade to lightrag-hku 1.5.4 or later.
