CVE-2026-23848 - MyTube has Rate Limiting Bypass via X-Forwarded-For Header Spoofing

CVE ID : CVE-2026-23848 Published : Jan. 19, 2026, 9:15 p.m. | 1 hour, 10 minutes ago Description : 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. Severity: 6.5 | MEDIUM Visit the link for more details, such as CVSS details, affected products, timeline, and more...
