CVE-2024-24567: Vyper Vyper's Raw_call `value=` Kwargs Not Vulnerability
MODERATECVE-2024-24567 is a MODERATE (CVSS 4.8) vyper's raw_call `value=` kwargs not vulnerability (CWE-754: Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions) affecting Vyper libraries in the PyPI ecosystem. The issue involves vyper's raw_call `value=` kwargs not disabled for static and delegate calls. Remediation is available by upgrading affected packages to version 0.4.0.
CVE-2024-24567 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 4.8
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L).
How to Fix CVE-2024-24567
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Vyper dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
pip install vyper>=0.4.0
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
pip show vyper
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-24567, inspect your installed packages using pip:
pip show vyper
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Vyper in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.4.0), your application is affected.
Note: The pip show vyper command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

"details" : "### Summary\nVyper compiler allows passing a value in builtin `raw_call` even if the call is a `delegatecall` or a `staticcall`. But in the context of `delegatecall` and `staticcall` the handling of value is not possible due to the semantics of the respective opcodes, and vyper will silently ignore the `value=` argument.\n\nA contract search was performed and no vulnerable contracts were found in production.\n\n### Details\nThe IR for `raw_call` is built in the `RawCall` class:\nhttps://github.com/vyperlang/vyper/blob/9136169468f317a53b4e7448389aa315f90b95ba/vyper/builtins/functions.py#L1100\n\nHowever, the compiler doesn't validate that if either `delegatecall` or `staticall` are provided as kwargs, that `value` wasn't set. For example, the following compiles without errors:\n```python\nraw_call(self, call_data2, max_outsize=255, is_delegate_call=True, value=msg.value/2)\n```\n\n### Impact\nIf the semantics of the EVM are unknown to the developer, he could suspect that by specifying the `value` kwarg, exactly the given amount will be sent along to the target. However in fact, no `value` will be sent.\n\nHere is an example of an potentially problematic implementation of multicall utilizing the `raw_call` built-in:\n```python\nvalue_accumulator: uint256 = empty(uint256)\n results: DynArray[Result, max_value(uint8)] = []\n return_data: Bytes[max_value(uint8)] = b\"\"\n success: bool = empty(bool)\n for batch in data:\n msg_value: uint256 = batch.value\n value_accumulator = unsafe_add(value_accumulator, msg_value)\n if (batch.allow_failure == False):\n return_data = raw_call(self, batch.call_data, max_outsize=255, value=msg_value, is_delegate_call=True)\n success = True\n results.append(Result({success: success, return_data: return_data}))\n else:\n success, return_data = \\\n raw_call(self, batch.call_data, max_outsize=255, value=msg_value, is_delegate_call=True, revert_on_failure=False)\n results.append(Result({success: success, return_data: return_data}))\n assert msg.value == value_accumulator, \"Multicall: value mismatch\"\n return results\n```\n\n### Patches\nFixed in https://github.com/vyperlang/vyper/pull/3755\n### Workarounds\n_Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?_\n\n### References\n_Are there any links users can visit to find out more?_\n",
