Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.24%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

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.
