CVE-2023-33175 — Vulnerability in toui — CVE Details
CRITICAL
toui allows user-specific variables to be shared between users
Published June 29, 2026Updated July 1, 2026Source: osv
Summary
### Impact
Websites that use `Website.user_vars` property in versions.
### Patches
It affects versions v2.0.1 to v2.4.0. Please upgrade to v2.4.1
### Workarounds
Do not use `Website.user_vars` in websites when using versions v2.0.1 to v2.4.0. Also, do not use `Website.signin_user()` in version v2.4.0 only.
### Explanation
ToUI is using Flask-Caching (SimpleCache) to store user variables. My misunderstanding was that these caches are stored in the client's browser, but it seems that these are stored in the server side.
