How to Fix CVE-2024-29190

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

mobsfscan fixed: 0.3.8 
pip install mobsfscan>=0.3.8
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 mobsfscan

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-29190, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show mobsfscan

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Mobsfscan in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.3.8), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show mobsfscan 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 Mobsfscan, 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

### Summary While examining the "App Link assetlinks.json file could not be found" vulnerability detected by MobSF, we, as the Trendyol Application Security team, noticed that a GET request was sent to the "/.well-known/assetlinks.json" endpoint for all hosts written with "android:host". In the AndroidManifest.xml file. Since MobSF does not perform any input validation when extracting the hostnames in "android:host", requests can also be sent to local hostnames. This may cause SSRF vulnerability. ### Details Example <intent-filter structure in AndroidManifest.xml: ``` <intent-filter android:autoVerify="true"> <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" /> <data android:host="192.168.1.102/user/delete/1#" android:scheme="http" /> </intent-filter> ``` We defined it as android:host="192.168.1.102/user/delete/1#". Here, the "#" character at the end of the host prevents requests from being sent to the "/.well-known/assetlinks.json" endpoint and ensures that requests are sent to the endpoint before it. <img width="617" alt="image" src="https://github.com/MobSF/Mobile-Security-Framework-MobSF/assets/150332295/c570cb00-e947-4ad7-af80-26d46c0ad3f7"> ### PoC https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nbKMd2sKosbJef5Mh4DxjcHcQ8Hw0BNR/view?usp=share_link ### Impact The attacker can cause the server to make a connection to internal-only services within the organization's infrastructure.
