In versions 1.16.1 and below, a critical Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) vulnerability in the software&#8217;s discovery protocol allows an unauthenticated attacker on the same local network to impersonate legitimate devices, silently intercepting, reading, and modifying any file transfer. This can be used to steal sensitive data or inject malware, like ransomware, into files shared between trusted users. The attack is hardly detectable and easy to implement, posing a severe and immediate security risk. This issue was fixed in version 1.17.0.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<h4 style=\"margin-top: 0; \">References<\/h4>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 20px;\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/localsend\/localsend\/security\/advisories\/GHSA-424h-5f6m-x63f\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/github.com\/localsend\/localsend\/security\/advisories\/GHSA-424h-5f6m-x63f<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/localsend\/localsend\/commit\/e8635204ec782ded45bc7d698deb60f3c4105687\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/github.com\/localsend\/localsend\/commit\/e8635204ec782ded45bc7d698deb60f3c4105687<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/localsend\/localsend\/releases\/tag\/v1.17.0\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/github.com\/localsend\/localsend\/releases\/tag\/v1.17.0<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 30px;\">\n<a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"display: inline-block; background-color: #4CAF50; color: white; padding: 12px 24px; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 4px; font-weight: bold; transition: background-color 0.3s;\">View Full CVE Details<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CVE Details Basic Information Title LocalSend is Vulnerable to Man-in-the-Middle Attacks, Leading to File Interception Type cve Published 2025-08-01T23:04:29.207Z Modified 2025-08-01T23:04:29.207Z Product Information Vendor localsend&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[9,6,8,55,12,13,7,11,5],"class_list":["post-9534","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-category_cve","tag-critical","tag-cve","tag-cvss","tag-cvss-93","tag-exploit","tag-news","tag-security","tag-tapic","tag-vulnerability"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
