How to Fix CVE-2023-36826

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

sentry fixed: 23.5.2 
pip install sentry>=23.5.2
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 sentry

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2023-36826, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show sentry

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Sentry in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 23.5.2), your application is affected.

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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-285: Improper Authorization, where the product does not perform or incorrectly performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action. In Sentry, 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 An authenticated user can download a debug or artifact bundle from arbitrary organizations and projects with a known bundle ID. The user does not need to be a member of the organization or have permissions on the project. ### Patches A patch was issued to ensure authorization checks are properly scoped on requests to retrieve debug or artifact bundles. Authenticated users who do not have the necessary permissions on the particular project are no longer able to download them. **Sentry SaaS users do not need to take any action. [Self-Hosted Sentry](https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted) users should upgrade to version 23.5.2 or higher.** ### References - [Restrict file downloads to Project](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/pull/49680)
