How to Fix GHSA-vx3h-qwqw-r2wq

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

inventree fixed: 0.16.5 
pip install inventree>=0.16.5
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 inventree

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by GHSA-vx3h-qwqw-r2wq, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show inventree

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Inventree in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.16.5), your application is affected.

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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), where the web server receives a url or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this url, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination. In Inventree, 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

### Impact The "download image from remote URL" feature can be abused by a malicious actor to potentially extract information about server side resources. Submitting a crafted URL (in place of a valid image) can raise a server side error, which is reported back to the user. This error message may contain sensitive information about the server side request, including information about the availability of the remote resource. ### Patches The solution to this vulnerability is to prevent the server from returning any specific information about the observed exception. Instead, a generic error message is returned to the client. This patch has been applied to the upcoming 0.17.0 release, and also back-ported to the 0.16.5 stable release. ### Workarounds To avoid this issue with unpatched versions, the "download image from remote URL" feature can be disabled in InvenTree, preventing users from accessing this information. ### References Thanks to @febin0x10 for identifying this vulnerability and reporting it to us as per our security policy.
