CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedAnki's webview-based pages prior to version 25.09.4 are vulnerable due to an internal localhost API that can be accessed by user scripts included via iframes, allowing potential exploitation through malicious card packages. This vulnerability enables attackers to read arbitrary files from the Anki process and exfiltrate sensitive data over the network. Users and administrators of Anki should prioritize upgrading to version 25.09.4 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
Anki is a program for creating and reviewing flashcards. Prior to 25.09.4, Anki's webview-based pages communicate with the Rust backend using an internal localhost API, and user scripts included via iframes in the editor can access this API despite protections intended to block reviewer and editor scripts. A malicious imported card package with an embedded iframe can use exposed API methods such as getImageForOcclusion to read arbitrary files accessible to the Anki process and exfiltrate them over the network. This issue is fixed in version 25.09.4.
