How to Fix CVE-2024-35180

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

omero-web fixed: 5.26.0

pip install omero-web>=5.26.0

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 omero-web

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-35180, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show omero-web

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Omero web in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 5.26.0), your application is affected.

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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-830: Inclusion of Web Functionality from an Untrusted Source, where the product includes web functionality (such as a web widget) from another domain, which causes it to operate within the domain of the product, potentially granting total access and control of the product to the untrusted source. In Omero web, 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

### Background There is currently no escaping or validation of the `callback` parameter that can be passed to various OMERO.web endpoints that have JSONP enabled. One such endpoint is `/webclient/imgData/...`. As we only really use these endpoints with jQuery's own callback name generation [^1] it is quite difficult or even impossible to exploit this in vanilla OMERO.web. However, these metadata endpoints are likely to be used by many plugins.
