Summary
A flaw in the API Server of Skill-scanner, caused by an erroneous binding to multiple interfaces, lets an unauthenticated remote attacker send API requests to a device running the server. Successful exploitation can cause memory starvation (denial of service) or upload files to arbitrary folders on the device. The issue affects Skill-scanner 1.0.1 and earlier when the API Server is enabled, which is not the default.
Mitigation
Fixed in Skill-scanner 1.0.2 and later releases.
