How to Fix CVE-2023-23929

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Vantage6 dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

vantage6 fixed: 3.8.0 
pip install vantage6>=3.8.0
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show vantage6

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2023-23929, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show vantage6

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Vantage6 in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.8.0), your application is affected.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-613: Insufficient Session Expiration, where according to wasc, "insufficient session expiration is when a web site permits an attacker to reuse old session credentials or session ids for authorization.". In Vantage6, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

From issue: Problem description Currently, the refresh token is valid indefinitely. This is bad security practice. Desired solution The refresh token should get a validity of 24-48 hours. Additional context When implementing this, also check that the refresh token returns a new refresh token When implementing this, also adapt the UI so that it logs out if refresh token is no longer valid. When implementing this, ensure that nodes refresh their token periodically so that they do not have to be restarted manually. ### Impact ### Patches None available ### Workarounds None available
