How to Fix CVE-2024-28717

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

storlets fixed: 13.0.0.0rc1 
pip install storlets>=13.0.0.0rc1
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 storlets

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-28717, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show storlets

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Storlets in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 13.0.0.0rc1), your application is affected.

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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-367: Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition, where the product checks the state of a resource before using that resource, but the resource's state can change between the check and the use in a way that invalidates the results of the check. In Storlets, 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.
