How to Fix CVE-2022-31020

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

indy-node fixed: 1.12.5rc1 
pip install indy-node>=1.12.5rc1
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 indy-node

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2022-31020, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show indy-node

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Indy node in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.12.5rc1), your application is affected.

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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-287: Improper Authentication, where when an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct. In Indy node, 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

### Impact The `pool-upgrade` request handler in Indy-Node `<=1.12.4` allows an improperly authenticated attacker to remotely execute code on nodes within the network. Network operators are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest Indy-Node release `>=1.12.5` as soon as possible. ### Patches The `pool-upgrade` request handler in Indy-Node `>=1.12.5` has been updated to properly authenticate `pool-upgrade` transactions before any processing is performed by the request handler. The transactions are further sanitized to prevent remote code execution. ### Mitigations Network operators are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest Indy-Node release `>=1.12.5` as soon as possible. ### Acknowledgements Thank you to @shakreiner at CyberArk Labs for finding and responsibly disclosing this issue.
