How to Fix CVE-2024-51493

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

OctoPrint fixed: 1.10.3 
pip install OctoPrint>=1.10.3
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 OctoPrint

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-51493, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show OctoPrint

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of OctoPrint in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.10.3), your application is affected.

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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-620: Unverified Password Change, where when setting a new password for a user, the product does not require knowledge of the original password, or using another form of authentication. In OctoPrint, 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 OctoPrint versions up until and including 1.10.2 contain a vulnerability that allows an attacker that has gained temporary control over an authenticated victim's OctoPrint browser session to retrieve/recreate/delete the user's or - if the victim has admin permissions - the global API key without having to reauthenticate by re-entering the user account's password. An attacker could use a stolen API key to access OctoPrint through its API, or disrupt workflows depending on the API key they deleted. ### Patches The vulnerability will be patched in version 1.10.3. ### Credits This vulnerability was discovered and responsibly disclosed to OctoPrint by Jacopo Tediosi.
