CVE-2024-29199: Nautobot Unauthenticated Views May Expose Information Vulnerability
LOWCVE-2024-29199 is a LOW (CVSS 3.7) unauthenticated views may expose information vulnerability (CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor) affecting Nautobot libraries in the PyPI ecosystem. The issue involves unauthenticated views may expose information to anonymous users. Remediation is available by upgrading affected packages to version 1.6.16, 2.1.9.
CVE-2024-29199 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 3.7
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N).
How to Fix CVE-2024-29199
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Nautobot 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 nautobot>=1.6.16
pip install nautobot>=2.1.9
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
pip show nautobot
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-29199, inspect your installed packages using pip:
pip show nautobot
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Nautobot in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.6.16), your application is affected.
Note: The pip show nautobot command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, where the product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. In Nautobot, 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\n\nA number of Nautobot URL endpoints were found to be improperly accessible to unauthenticated (anonymous) users, including the following:\n\n- `/api/graphql/` (1)\n- `/api/users/users/session/` (Nautobot 2.x only; the only information exposed to an anonymous user is which authentication backend classes are enabled on this Nautobot instance)\n- `/dcim/racks/<uuid:pk>/dynamic-groups/` (1)\n- `/dcim/devices/<uuid:pk>/dynamic-groups/` (1)\n- `/extras/job-results/<uuid:pk>/log-table/`\n- `/extras/secrets/provider/<str:provider_slug>/form/` (the only information exposed to an anonymous user is the fact that a secrets provider with the given slug (e.g. `environment-variable` or `text-file`) is supported by this Nautobot instance)\n- `/ipam/prefixes/<uuid:pk>/dynamic-groups/` (1)\n- `/ipam/ip-addresses/<uuid:pk>/dynamic-groups/` (1)\n- `/virtualization/clusters/<uuid:pk>/dynamic-groups/` (1)\n- `/virtualization/virtual-machines/<uuid:pk>/dynamic-groups/` (1)\n\n(1) These endpoints will not disclose any Nautobot data to an unauthenticated user unless the Nautobot configuration variable `EXEMPT_VIEW_PERMISSIONS` is changed from its default value (an empty list) to permit access to specific data by unauthenticated users.\n\nOf these endpoints, the only one that poses any significant risk of sensitive information disclosure under normal Nautobot operation with a default configuration is `/extras/job-results/<uuid:pk>/log-table/`. This endpoint returns an HTML table containing all of the logs associated with the specified JobResult; while these logs may contain sensitive information depending on the Jobs executed in Nautobot, this exposure is mitigated somewhat by the fact that any attacker would have to have prior knowledge of the existence of a JobResult with a particular UUID.\n\nIn the interest of full disclosure, the following additional endpoints were also accessible to anonymous users, but do not disclose any sensitive data when accessed (only a listing of other API endpoints). \n\n- `/api/`\n- `/api/circuits/`\n- `/api/dcim/`\n- `/api/extras/`\n- `/api/ipam/`\n- `/api/plugins/`\n- `/api/tenancy/`\n- `/api/users/`\n- `/api/virtualization/`\n\nAll of the above endpoints have been corrected to require user authentication, with the exception of `/api/users/users/session/` which is unused at this time and therefore has been simply removed from Nautobot 2.1.9. Additionally, we have added test automation which enumerates available Nautobot URL endpoints and verifies that appropriate authentication requirements are in place; this test was instrumental in identifying the above comprehensive list.\n\n### Patches\n\nFixes will be included in Nautobot 1.6.16 and 2.1.9.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nPartial workaround: If your configuration includes a non-default value for `EXEMPT_VIEW_PERMISSIONS` (the Nautobot default is an empty list), reverting it to default will prevent exposure of Nautobot information to unauthenticated users via the endpoints marked with (1) above.\n\n### References\n_Are there any links users can visit to find out more?_\n",
