How to Fix CVE-2012-0215

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

trytond fixed: 2.4.0 
pip install trytond>=2.4.0
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 trytond

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2012-0215, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show trytond

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Trytond in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.4.0), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show trytond 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 Trytond, 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

`model/modelstorage.py` in the Tryton application framework (trytond) before 2.4.0 for Python does not properly restrict access to the Many2Many field in the relation model, which allows remote authenticated users to modify the privileges of arbitrary users via a (1) create, (2) write, (3) delete, or (4) copy rpc call.
