How to Fix CVE-2024-31215

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

mobsf fixed: 3.9.8 
pip install mobsf>=3.9.8
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 mobsf

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-31215, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show mobsf

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Mobsf in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.9.8), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show mobsf 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 Mobsf, 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 _What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?_ SSRF vulnerability in firebase database check logic. The attacker can cause the server to make a connection to internal-only services within the organization’s infrastructure. When malicious app is uploaded to Static analyzer, it is possible to make internal requests. Credits: Oleg Surnin (Positive Technologies). ### Patches _Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?_ v3.9.8 and above ### Workarounds _Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?_ Code level patch ### References _Are there any links users can visit to find out more?_ https://github.com/MobSF/Mobile-Security-Framework-MobSF/pull/2373
