How to Fix CVE-2024-47211

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

ironic fixed: 26.1.1 
pip install ironic>=26.1.1
ironic fixed: 24.1.3 
pip install ironic>=24.1.3
ironic fixed: 23.0.3 
pip install ironic>=23.0.3
ironic fixed: Latest secure release 
pip install ironic>=Latest secure release
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 ironic

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-47211, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show ironic

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Ironic in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 26.1.1), your application is affected.

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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-354: Improper Validation of Integrity Check Value, where the product does not validate or incorrectly validates the integrity check values or "checksums" of a message. this may prevent it from detecting if the data has been modified or corrupted in transmission. In Ironic, 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

In OpenStack Ironic before 21.4.4, 22.x and 23.x before 23.0.3, 23.x and 24.x before 24.1.3, and 25.x and 26.x before 26.1.0, there is a lack of checksum validation of supplied image_source URLs when configured to convert images to a raw format for streaming.
