CDN leeching occurs when an unauthorized user or entity accesses content hosted on a Content Delivery Network (CDN) without proper authorization, typically to bypass subscription fees or DRM protections.
This often involves using public URLs or exploiting vulnerabilities in the CDN to access copyrighted or premium content for free.
An attacker could use a tool to discover and download media from streaming platforms by exploiting improperly secured CDN endpoints.
Does CDN leeching allow unauthorized access to premium content?
Yes.
