How to Fix CVE-2022-36551

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

label-studio fixed: 1.6.0 
pip install label-studio>=1.6.0
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 label-studio

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2022-36551, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show label-studio

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Label studio in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.6.0), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show label-studio 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 Label studio, 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

A Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in the Data Import module in Heartex - Label Studio Community Edition versions 1.5.0 and earlier allows an authenticated user to access arbitrary files on the system. Furthermore, self-registration is enabled by default in these versions of Label Studio enabling a remote attacker to create a new account and then exploit the SSRF. This issue is fixed in version 1.6.0.
