How to Fix CVE-2024-12761

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

imaginAIry fixed: Latest secure release 
pip install imaginAIry>=Latest secure release
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 imaginAIry

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-12761, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show imaginAIry

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

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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption, where the product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource. In ImaginAIry, 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 Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the brycedrennan/imaginairy repository, version 15.0.0. The vulnerability is present in the `/api/stablestudio/generate` endpoint, which can be exploited by sending an invalid request. This causes the server process to terminate abruptly, outputting `KILLED` in the terminal, and results in the unavailability of the server. This issue disrupts the server's functionality, affecting all users.
