## What is CVE-2026-62314?

CVE-2026-62314 is a medium-severity vulnerability in TecharoHQ anubis, published on 15 Jul 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Anubis is a Web AI Firewall Utility that challenges users' connections in order to protect upstream resources from scraper bots. From 1.22.0 until 1.26.0-pre1, lib/policy/checker.go PathChecker.Check() trusted the client-controlled X-Original-URI header before matching r.URL.Path, allowing an HTTP client to match default data/common/keep-internet-working.yaml ALLOW rules such as ^/\.well-known/.*$ and bypass the Anubis challenge. This issue is fixed in version 1.26.0-pre1.

Weakness: CWE-284 (Improper Access Control)
