CVE-2026-62364 WeblateOrg CVE debrief
CVE-2026-62364 is a vulnerability in the Weblate command-line client (wlc) that can lead to the disclosure of an unscoped API token when used in an untrusted repository or directory. The issue arises from the client's configuration discovery feature, which can select an API URL from certain configuration files without requiring a matching URL for the provided API token. This can result in the token being sent to an attacker-controlled URL.
