How to Fix CVE-2022-23485

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

sentry fixed: 22.11.0 
pip install sentry>=22.11.0
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 sentry

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2022-23485, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show sentry

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Sentry in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 22.11.0), your application is affected.

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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-284: Improper Access Control, where the product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor. In Sentry, 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

With a known valid invite link (i.e. not already accepted or expired) an unauthenticated attacker can manipulate the cookie to allow the same invite link to be reused on multiple accounts when joining an organization. ### Impact An attacker with a valid invite link can create multiple users and join the organization from which the invite link was generated. ### Patches This issue was patched in version 22.11.0. ### Workarounds Sentry SaaS customers do not need to take action. Self-hosted Sentry installs can disable the invite functionality until they are ready to deploy the patched version by editing their `sentry.conf.py` file (usually located at `~/.sentry/`). 1. Add the following line into `sentry.conf.py`: ```python SENTRY_FEATURES["organizations:invite-members"] = False ``` 2. Restart the Sentry web service. ``` docker compose restart web ``` ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * [Visit our FAQs on this CVE](https://help.sentry.io/account/security/cve-2022-23485-faqs/) * Open an issue in [getsentry/sentry](http://github.com/getsentry/sentry) * Email us at security[@]sentry.io
