How to Fix CVE-2024-2032

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

zenml fixed: 0.55.5 
pip install zenml>=0.55.5
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 zenml

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-2032, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show zenml

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Zenml in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.55.5), your application is affected.

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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-366: Race Condition within a Thread, where if two threads of execution use a resource simultaneously, there exists the possibility that resources may be used while invalid, in turn making the state of execution undefined. In Zenml, 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 race condition vulnerability exists in zenml-io/zenml versions up to and including 0.55.3, which allows for the creation of multiple users with the same username when requests are sent in parallel. This issue was fixed in version 0.55.5. The vulnerability arises due to insufficient handling of concurrent user creation requests, leading to data inconsistencies and potential authentication problems. Specifically, concurrent processes may overwrite or corrupt user data, complicating user identification and posing security risks. This issue is particularly concerning for APIs that rely on usernames as input parameters, such as PUT /api/v1/users/test_race, where it could lead to further complications.
