CVE-2026-126934: Zipline rate limit bypass via X-Forwarded-For spoofing

CVE-2026-126934 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-11-11

Zipline is a file-sharing and URL shortening service. A rate limiting flaw allows attackers to bypass login attempt throttling by spoofing X-Forwarded-For headers, enabling unlimited password and two-factor code guessing attacks without authentication. This puts user accounts at risk of unauthorized access.

Technologies: Diced Zipline. Vendors: Diced.

Junglewise finds every place you run it, drafts the upgrade and applies it once you approve.
How is CVE-2026-126934 attacked?
It is attacked over the network, in a web application.
Am I affected by CVE-2026-126934?
Check whether you run Diced Zipline at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: 4.8.0

Disable core.trustProxy unless necessary for reverse proxy operation behind a trusted load balancer, or restrict X-Forwarded-For header acceptance to known trusted proxies only.

Technical details

The vulnerability exploits Zipline's rate-limit implementation which uses the client IP address as the rate-limit key. When core.trustProxy is enabled, attackers can send a different X-Forwarded-For header per request to obtain a fresh rate-limit bucket, bypassing throttling on login and credential endpoints. This allows brute-force attacks against login passwords, TOTP codes, and file/URL passwords without authentication requirements.

Affected products

  • diced Zipline 4.3.2 before 4.8.0
