How to Fix CVE-2024-8952

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

composio-core fixed: Latest secure release

pip install composio-core>=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 composio-core

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-8952, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show composio-core

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Composio core 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 composio-core 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 Composio core, 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) vulnerability exists in composiohq/composio version v0.4.2, specifically in the /api/actions/execute/WEBTOOL_SCRAPE_WEBSITE_CONTENT endpoint. This vulnerability allows an attacker to read files, access AWS metadata, and interact with local services on the system.
