taipy fixed: 4.0.0

pip install taipy>=4.0.0

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 taipy

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-47833, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show taipy

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Taipy in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 4.0.0), your application is affected.

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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-319: Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information, where the product transmits sensitive or security-critical data in cleartext in a communication channel that can be sniffed by unauthorized actors. In Taipy, 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 Session cookie is without Secure and HTTPOnly flags. ### Details Please take a look at this part of code (PoC screenshot) or check code directly (provided in Occurrences section below) **Occurrences**: https://github.com/Avaiga/taipy/blob/develop/frontend/taipy-gui/src/components/Taipy/Navigate.tsx#L67 **Proposed remediation:** add Secure and HTTPOnly flags for cookies. It could be like this: document.cookie = `tprh=${tprh};path=/;Secure;HttpOnly;`; ### PoC **Screenshot**: ![image](https://github.com/Avaiga/taipy/assets/18367606/ea7d1bbd-ba27-447f-932b-3d33ffc1a2e7) ### Impact **Secure**: This flag indicates that the cookie should only be sent over secure HTTPS connections. Without this flag, the cookie will be sent over both HTTP and HTTPS connections, which could expose it to interception or tampering if the connection is not secure. **HttpOnly:** This flag prevents the cookie from being accessed by client-side JavaScript. It helps mitigate certain types of attacks, such as cross-site scripting (XSS), by preventing malicious scripts from accessing the cookie's value. **References** CWE-614: Sensitive Cookie in HTTPS Session Without 'Secure' Attribute https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/614.html CWE-1004: Sensitive Cookie Without 'HttpOnly' Flag - https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/1004.html OWASP - Secure Cookie Attribute - https://owasp.org/www-community/controls/SecureCookieAttribute Cookie security flags - https://www.invicti.com/learn/cookie-security-flags/ Cookie lack Secure flag - https://support.detectify.com/support/solutions/articles/48001048982-cookie-lack-secure-flag **Other**: Title: Encrypting the Web URL: https://www.eff.org/encrypt-the-web Update (Required advisory information) - added severity, resource: https://portswigger.net/kb/issues/00500200_tls-cookie-without-secure-flag-set Best regards,
