pip install horizon>=20.2.0
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 horizon

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2022-45582, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show horizon

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Horizon in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 20.2.0), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show horizon command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.
