CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe career-ops local web dashboard prior to version 0.8.0 is vulnerable to unauthenticated command execution due to insufficient validation of request origins and unrestricted access to sensitive API routes. This flaw allows a malicious page to exploit cross-origin requests, potentially compromising the dashboard user’s environment. Organizations using affected versions of career-ops should prioritize upgrading to version 0.8.0 to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and command execution.

Original NVD Description
career-ops is an open-source AI-assisted job search and application management tool. Prior to 0.8.0, the career-ops local web dashboard web/ exposed command-spawning and user-file-writing /api routes without validating request origin or restricting clients to loopback addresses. A malicious page in another browser tab could send cross-origin localhost requests while the dashboard was running, and a dashboard bound beyond loopback could receive direct requests from the local network. Both paths allowed unauthenticated command execution as the dashboard user, but npm installations were unaffected because web/ is excluded from the published package. This issue is fixed in version 0.8.0.
