Pixeldrain API key shared with unverified thirdparty sites

Published Jul 15, 2026·Updated Jul 15, 2026

NVD Description

### Summary When processing Pixeldrain URLs, `cyberdrop-dl-patched` could send an `Authorization` header that includes the user's API key to unverified hosts. ### Details Pixeldrain offers several alternative domains in case the user's ISP blocks the primary domain. To support this, requests made by `cyberdrop-dl-patched` are not hardcoded and will use the same host as the input URL for API requests. `cyberdrop-dl-patched` matches URLs to a crawler based on their host. If the host contains a crawler's supported host as a sub-string, it will match to that crawler. An URL from a malicious domain (ex: `https://evil-pixeldrain.com`) would successfully match to the Pixeldrain crawler and `cyberdrop-dl-patched` will blindly use that host for any API request (`https://evil-pixeldrain.com/api`), leaking the user's API key to the malicious actor via the `Authorization` header. ### Impact Anyone who has setup a Pixeldrain API key with `cyberdrop-dl-patched` and uses `cyberdrop-dl-patched` on sites that could spawn downloads for other sites (ex: forums, Wordpress, Pixeldrain itself, etc...) ### Patches `cyberdrop-dl-patched` v9.14.0 fixes this issue by rejecting any Pixedrain URL if the host does not match an official domain __exactly__. ### Workarounds It's recommended to upgrade `cyberdrop-dl-patched` to version v9.14.0 Anyone who has used a Pixeldrain API key with `cyberdrop-dl-patched` should consider them compromised and delete them from their Pixeldrain account.
