Overview

datasette is an An open source multi-tool for exploring and publishing data

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. The HTML form for a read-only canned query includes the hidden CSRF token field for writable canned queries. Submitting those read-only forms exposes the CSRF token in the URL - for example: https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/neighborhood_search?text=down&csrftoken=CSRFTOKEN-HERE. This token could potentially leak to an attacker if the resulting page has a link to an external site on it and the user clicks the link, since the token would be exposed in the referral logs.
