How to Fix GHSA-p72q-h37j-3hq7

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

dbt-core fixed: 1.6.13 
pip install dbt-core>=1.6.13
dbt-core fixed: 1.7.13 
pip install dbt-core>=1.7.13
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 dbt-core

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by GHSA-p72q-h37j-3hq7, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show dbt-core

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Dbt core in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.6.13), your application is affected.

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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-673: External Influence of Sphere Definition, where the product does not prevent the definition of control spheres from external actors. In Dbt core, 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 Using a version of `sqlparse` that has a security vulnerability and no way to update in current version of dbt core. Snyk recommends using `sqlparse==0.5` but this causes a conflict with dbt. Snyk states the issues is a recursion error: `SNYK-PYTHON-SQLPARSE-6615674`. ### Details Dependency conflict error message: ```sh The conflict is caused by: The user requested sqlparse==0.5 dbt-core 1.7.10 depends on sqlparse<0.5 and >=0.2.3 ``` Resolution was to pin `sqlparse >=0.5.0, <0.6.0` in `dbt-core`, patched in 1.6.13 and 1.7.13. ### PoC From Snyk: ```python import sqlparse sqlparse.parse('[' * 10000 + ']' * 10000) ``` ### Impact Snyk classifies it as high 7.5/10. ### Patches The bug has been fixed in [dbt-core v1.6.13](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/releases/tag/v1.6.13) and [dbt-core v1.7.13](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/releases/tag/v1.7.13). ### Mitigations Bump `dbt-core` 1.6 and 1.7 dependencies to 1.6.13 and 1.7.13 respectively
