Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

CVE-2024-55890

Medium
6.9/10

Summary

D-Tale is a visualizer for pandas data structures. In dtale package version prior to 3.16.1, users hosting D-Tale publicly can be vulnerable to Remote Code Execution, allowing attackers to run malicious code on the server. Users should upgrade to a fixed version, where the `update-settings` endpoint blocks the ability for users to update the `enable_custom_filters` flag. The only workaround for versions earlier than 3.16.1 is to only host D-Tale to trusted users.

CWE-79 - Cross Site Scripting

Cross-Site Scripting, commonly referred to as XSS, is the most dominant class of vulnerabilities. It allows an attacker to inject malicious code into a pregnable web application and victimize its users. The exploitation of such a weakness can cause severe issues such as account takeover, and sensitive data exfiltration. Because of the prevalence of XSS vulnerabilities and their high rate of exploitation, it has remained in the OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities for years.
