How to Fix CVE-2024-42474
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Streamlit 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 streamlit>=1.37.0Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
pip show streamlitHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-42474, inspect your installed packages using pip:
pip show streamlitAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Streamlit in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.37.0), your application is affected.
Note: The pip show streamlit command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'), where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. In Streamlit, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.
