CVE-2024-25128 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 9.1
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).
How to Fix CVE-2024-25128
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Flask AppBuilder dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
pip install Flask-AppBuilder>=4.3.11
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
pip show Flask-AppBuilder
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-25128, inspect your installed packages using pip:
pip show Flask-AppBuilder
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Flask AppBuilder in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 4.3.11), your application is affected.
Note: The pip show Flask-AppBuilder 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 Flask AppBuilder, 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.

"details" : "### Impact\nWhen Flask-AppBuilder is set to AUTH_TYPE AUTH_OID, allows an attacker to forge an HTTP request, that could deceive the backend into using any requested OpenID service. This vulnerability could grant an attacker unauthorised privilege access if a custom OpenID service is deployed by the attacker and accessible by the backend. \n\nThis vulnerability is only exploitable when the application is using the old (deprecated 10 years ago) OpenID 2.0 authorization protocol (which is very different from the popular OIDC - Open ID Connect - popular protocol used today). Currently, this protocol is regarded as legacy, with significantly reduced usage and not supported for several years by major authorization providers.\n\n### Patches\nUpgrade to Flask-AppBuilder 4.3.11\n\n### Workarounds\nIf upgrade is not possible add the following to your config:\n\n```\nfrom flask import flash, redirect\nfrom flask_appbuilder import expose\nfrom flask_appbuilder.security.sqla.manager import SecurityManager\nfrom flask_appbuilder.security.views import AuthOIDView\nfrom flask_appbuilder.security.forms import LoginForm_oid\n\nbasedir = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))\n\n\nclass FixedOIDView(AuthOIDView):\n @expose(\"/login/\", methods=[\"GET\", \"POST\"])\n def login(self, flag=True):\n form = LoginForm_oid()\n if form.validate_on_submit():\n identity_url = None\n for provider in self.appbuilder.sm.openid_providers:\n if provider.get(\"url\") == form.openid.data:\n identity_url = form.openid.data\n if identity_url is None:\n flash(self.invalid_login_message, \"warning\")\n return redirect(self.appbuilder.get_url_for_login)\n return super().login(flag=flag)\n\nclass FixedSecurityManager(SecurityManager):\n authoidview = FixedOIDView\n\n\nFAB_SECURITY_MANAGER_CLASS = \"config.FixedSecurityManager\"\n```",
