What is CVE-2026-23848?

MyTube, a self-hosted downloader and player for video websites, is susceptible to a rate limiting bypass vulnerability due to improper handling of the X-Forwarded-For header.

As a consequence, attackers may perform unlimited requests to restricted functionalities, threatening the stability and availability of the service. Users are advised to upgrade to version 1.7.71, which includes a fix for this vulnerability.
