How to Fix CVE-2017-11610

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

supervisor fixed: 3.0.1 
pip install supervisor>=3.0.1
supervisor fixed: 3.1.4 
pip install supervisor>=3.1.4
supervisor fixed: 3.2.4 
pip install supervisor>=3.2.4
supervisor fixed: 3.3.3 
pip install supervisor>=3.3.3
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 supervisor

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2017-11610, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show supervisor

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Supervisor in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.0.1), your application is affected.

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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-276: Incorrect Default Permissions, where during installation, installed file permissions are set to allow anyone to modify those files. In Supervisor, 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

The XML-RPC server in supervisor before 3.0.1, 3.1.x before 3.1.4, 3.2.x before 3.2.4, and 3.3.x before 3.3.3 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted XML-RPC request, related to nested supervisord namespace lookups.
