How to Fix CVE-2024-34062

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

tqdm fixed: 4.66.3 
pip install tqdm>=4.66.3
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 tqdm

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-34062, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show tqdm

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Tqdm in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 4.66.3), your application is affected.

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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-74: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. In Tqdm, 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 Any optional non-boolean CLI arguments (e.g. `--delim`, `--buf-size`, `--manpath`) are passed through python's `eval`, allowing arbitrary code execution. Example: ```sh python -m tqdm --manpath="\" + str(exec(\"import os\nos.system('echo hi && killall python3')\")) + \"" ``` ### Patches https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm/commit/4e613f84ed2ae029559f539464df83fa91feb316 released in `tqdm>=4.66.3` ### Workarounds None ### References - https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm/releases/tag/v4.66.3
