Summary

Locust through 2.46.7 contains a cross-site request forgery vulnerability that allows remote attackers to stop load tests or reset statistics via GET requests to /stop and /stats/reset. Attackers can lure an operator to a malicious page triggering cross-site GET requests, terminating running swarms and wiping recorded performance results.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could interrupt load tests and delete data, potentially leading to loss of results and disruption of testing processes. The risk affects Locust operators who visit malicious pages during an active session.

Recommendation

Update Locust to a version later than 2.46.7 if available, or implement CSRF protection (e.g., tokens) for the /stop and /stats/reset endpoints. Avoid visiting untrusted pages while working with the Locust interface.
