CVE-2026-40035 Details
Description
Unfurl through 2025.08 contains an improper input validation vulnerability in config parsing that enables Flask debug mode by default. The debug configuration value is read as a string and passed directly to app.run(), causing any non-empty string to evaluate truthy, allowing attackers to access the Werkzeug debugger and disclose sensitive information or achieve remote code execution.
A vulnerability exists in Unfurl versions through 2025.08, where improper input validation in configuration parsing enables Flask debug mode by default. The issue arises because the debug setting is read as a string and directly passed to app.run(), causing any non-empty string to be evaluated as true. This unintended behavior allows attackers to access the Werkzeug debugger, potentially disclosing sensitive information or leading to remote code execution.
