How to Fix CVE-2024-54000

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

mobsf fixed: 3.9.7 
pip install mobsf>=3.9.7
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 mobsf

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-54000, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show mobsf

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Mobsf in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.9.7), your application is affected.

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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), where the web server receives a url or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this url, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination. In Mobsf, 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

### Summary The fix for the "SSRF Vulnerability on assetlinks_check(act_name, well_knowns)" vulnerability could potentially be bypassed. ### Details Since the requests.get() request in the _check_url method is specified as allow_redirects=True, if "https://mydomain.com/.well-known/assetlinks.json" returns a 302 redirect, subsequent requests will be sent automatically. If the redirect location is "http://192.168.1.102/user/delete/1", a request will be sent here as well. <img width="610" alt="image" src="https://github.com/MobSF/Mobile-Security-Framework-MobSF/assets/150332295/a8c9630e-3d12-441a-816c-8f5e427a5194"> It will be safer to use allow_redirects=False. ### Impact The attacker can cause the server to make a connection to internal-only services within the organization's infrastructure.
