How to Fix CVE-2025-22146

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: 25.1.0 
pip install sentry>=25.1.0
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 sentry

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2025-22146, 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 25.1.0), 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-287: Improper Authentication, where when an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct. 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 A critical vulnerability was discovered in the SAML SSO implementation of Sentry. It was reported to us via our private bug bounty program. The vulnerability allows an attacker to take over any user account by using a malicious SAML Identity Provider and another organization on the same Sentry instance. The victim email address must be known in order to exploit this vulnerability. ### Patches - [Sentry SaaS](https://sentry.io): The fix was deployed on Jan 14, 2025. - [Self-Hosted Sentry](https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted): If only a single organization is allowed (`SENTRY_SINGLE_ORGANIZATION = True`), then no action is needed. Otherwise, users should upgrade to version 25.1.0 or higher. ### Workarounds No known workarounds. ### References - https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/pull/83407
