How to Fix CVE-2024-27097

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

ckan fixed: 2.9.11 
pip install ckan>=2.9.11
ckan fixed: 2.10.4 
pip install ckan>=2.10.4
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 ckan

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-27097, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show ckan

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Ckan in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.9.11), your application is affected.

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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-532: Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File, where the product writes sensitive information to a log file. In Ckan, 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

A user endpoint didn't perform filtering on an incoming parameter, which was added directly to the application log. This could lead to an attacker injecting false log entries or corrupt the log file format. ### Patches This has been fixed in the CKAN 2.9.11 and 2.10.4 versions ### Workarounds Override the `/user/reset` endpoint to filter the `id` parameter in order to exclude newlines
