How to Fix CVE-2024-8524

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

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

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-8524, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show agentscope

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Agentscope 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 agentscope command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.
