Python vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
In version 3.23.0 of aimhubio/aim, a denial of service vulnerability was identified. The vulnerability has been assigned CVE-2024-8061 and was reported through huntr.dev. The issue affects the tracking server's communication with external resources (NVD, CVE).
Technical details
The vulnerability stems from certain methods that request data from external servers lacking set timeouts, particularly in the _run_read_instructions method and similar calls. This implementation flaw has been classified as CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption) with a CVSS v3.0 base score of 7.5 (HIGH) and vector string CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H (NVD).
Impact
When exploited, this vulnerability causes the server to wait indefinitely for responses from external servers. As a result, the tracking server becomes unresponsive to other requests while waiting, effectively creating a denial of service condition (NVD).
Exploitability
The vulnerability is exploitable remotely and requires low attack complexity with no privileges or user interaction needed, as indicated by the CVSS vector string (NVD).
