Python vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
A vulnerability in aimhubio/aim version 3.19.3 allows an attacker to cause an infinite loop by configuring the remote tracking server to point at itself. This results in the server endlessly connecting to itself, rendering it unable to respond to other connections. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on July 8, 2024 (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability is classified as CWE-835 (Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition - 'Infinite Loop'). It has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, indicating network accessibility, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction needed, and high impact on availability (NVD).
Impact
When exploited, this vulnerability results in a denial of service condition where the server becomes unresponsive to other connections due to the infinite loop created by self-referential tracking server configuration (NVD).
Exploitability
The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without requiring privileges or user interaction. An exploit has been confirmed and documented (Huntr).
