How to Fix CVE-2023-48700

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

nautobot-device-onboarding fixed: 3.0.0 
pip install nautobot-device-onboarding>=3.0.0
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 nautobot-device-onboarding

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2023-48700, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show nautobot-device-onboarding

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Nautobot device onboarding in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.0.0), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show nautobot-device-onboarding command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, where the product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. In Nautobot device onboarding, 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 When credentials are provided while creating an OnboardingTask they may be visible via the Job Results view under the Additional Data tab as args for the Celery Task execution. This only applies to OnboardingTasks that are created with credentials specified while on v2.0.0-2.0.2 of Nautobot Device Onboarding. This advisory does not apply earlier version or when using NAPALM_USERNAME & NAPALM_PASSWORD from nautobot_config.py ### Patches v3.0.0 ### Workarounds None ### Recommendations * Delete all Job Results for any onboarding task to remove clear text credentials from database entries that were run while on v2.0.X * Upgrade to v3.0.0 * Rotate any exposed credential
