Deserialization of Untrusted Data

CVE-2024-8862

High
9.8/10

Summary

A critical vulnerability has been discovered in the h2o-3 package `getConnectionSafe` function in the `/dtale/chart-data/1` file of the JDBC Connection Handler component. Although the issue was found in the h2o package, the vulnerability lies within D-Tale's code. D-Tale is a tool combining Flask and React for analyzing Pandas data structures. In `dtale/views.py`, under the route `@dtale.route("/chart-data/<data_id>")`, query parameters are directly passed into the `run_query` function without sanitization, leading to a Command Execution vulnerability. The issue arises from executing queries in the `df.query` method, allowing malicious inputs to be executed as commands. The vulnerability affects dtale versions prior to 3.14.1.

CWE-502 - Deserialization of Untrusted Data

Deserialization of untrusted data vulnerabilities enable an attacker to replace or manipulate a serialized object, replacing it with malicious data. When the object is deserialized at the victim's end the malicious data is able to compromise the victim’s system. The exploit can be devastating, its impact may range from privilege escalation, broken access control, or denial of service attacks to allowing unauthorized access to the application's internal code and logic which can compromise the entire system.
