CVE-2026-23848

MyTube is a self-hosted downloader and player for several video websites. Prior to version 1.7.71, a rate limiting bypass via `X-Forwarded-For` header spoofing allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass IP-based rate limiting on general API endpoints. Attackers can spoof client IPs by manipulating the `X-Forwarded-For` header, enabling unlimited requests to protected endpoints, including general API endpoints (enabling DoS) and other rate-limited functionality. Version 1.7.71 contains a patch for the issue.

MyTube es un descargador y reproductor autoalojado para varios sitios web de vídeo. Antes de la versión 1.7.71, una omisión de limitación de velocidad mediante la suplantación del encabezado `X-Forwarded-For` permite a atacantes no autenticados omitir la limitación de velocidad basada en IP en los endpoints generales de la API. Los atacantes pueden suplantar las IP del cliente manipulando el encabezado `X-Forwarded-For`, lo que permite solicitudes ilimitadas a puntos finales protegidos, incluidos los puntos finales generales de la API (lo que permite DoS) y otras funcionalidades con limitación de velocidad. La versión 1.7.71 contiene un parche para el problema.
