CVE-2024-8183:
Python vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
A CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) misconfiguration in prefecthq/prefect version 2.20.2 allows unauthorized domains to access sensitive data (NVD, CVE Mitre). The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed in March 2024, affecting the Prefect workflow automation platform.
Technical details
The vulnerability stems from a CORS misconfiguration that allows unauthorized domains to make cross-origin requests to the API. The issue has been assigned a CVSS v3.0 base score of 7.6 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:L. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-346 (Origin Validation Error) (NVD).
Impact
The vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to the database, resulting in potential data leaks, loss of confidentiality, service disruption, and data integrity risks (NVD).
Mitigation and workarounds
A fix has been implemented that adds settings to control server CORS configuration. The patch introduces three new settings: PREFECTSERVERCORSALLOWEDORIGINS, PREFECTSERVERCORSALLOWEDMETHODS, and PREFECTSERVERCORSALLOWEDHEADERS, allowing administrators to explicitly specify authorized origins, methods, and headers for cross-origin requests (Github Commit).
