CVE-2026-44613 is a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in Apache Zeppelin affecting versions 0.6.0 through 0.12.0. The flaw arose from Zeppelin’s default CORS behavior permitting cross-origin state-changing requests and from affected endpoints accepting text/plain request bodies, which enabled requests to avoid normal browser preflight protections. As a result, a remote attacker could induce a victim with an active authenticated Zeppelin session to load a malicious webpage and then issue forged requests against Zeppelin REST and WebSocket endpoints in the victim’s browser context. The vulnerability allowed unauthorized actions to be performed without requiring the attacker to know the victim’s credentials.

Small single-script exploit repository centered on cve-2026-44613.py. The Python script starts a local HTTP server on 127.0.0.1:8000 and serves a malicious HTML/JavaScript page designed to exploit CVE-2026-44613 in Apache Zeppelin 0.6.0–0.12.0. The browser-side payload uses fetch() with credentials included to send cross-origin GET, POST, and PUT requests to a Zeppelin instance at http://127.0.0.1:8080 by default. Its capabilities go beyond simple detection: it performs reconnaissance against multiple Zeppelin API endpoints, creates notebooks, injects paragraphs including a shell-interpreter example, attempts interpreter setting creation and restart, and probes credential/configuration/repository endpoints. The repository contains only four files: license, gitignore, README, and the exploit script. README is mostly generic usage/disclaimer text and does not add operational logic. Overall, this is a real browser-based CSRF PoC for Zeppelin with visible side effects and moderate operational capability, but it is not framework-based and does not include a customizable post-exploitation agent.
