How to Fix CVE-2024-32474

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

sentry fixed: 24.4.1 
pip install sentry>=24.4.1
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 sentry

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-32474, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show sentry

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Sentry in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 24.4.1), your application is affected.

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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-312: Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information, where the product stores sensitive information in cleartext within a resource that might be accessible to another control sphere. In Sentry, 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

### Impact When authenticating as a superuser to a self-hosted Sentry instance with a username and password, the password is leaked as cleartext in logs under the _event_: `auth-index.validate_superuser`. An attacker with access to the log data could use these leaked credentials to login to the Sentry system as superuser. ### Patches - Self-hosted users on affected versions should upgrade to 24.4.1 or later. - Sentry SaaS users do not need to take any action. This vulnerability is not applicable to SaaS. ### Workarounds Users can configure the logging level to exclude logs of the `INFO` level and only generate logs for levels at `WARNING` or higher. For details on configuring self-hosted Sentry's logging level see our documentation at: https://develop.sentry.dev/config/#logging ### References - Bug introduced in https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/pull/66393 - Security fix in https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/pull/69148
