How to Fix CVE-2023-4570

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

ni-measurementlink-service fixed: 1.1.1 
pip install ni-measurementlink-service>=1.1.1
ni-measurementlink-service fixed: 1.2.0 
pip install ni-measurementlink-service>=1.2.0
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 ni-measurementlink-service

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2023-4570, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show ni-measurementlink-service

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Ni measurementlink service in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.1.1), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show ni-measurementlink-service command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-420: Unprotected Alternate Channel, where the product protects a primary channel, but it does not use the same level of protection for an alternate channel. In Ni measurementlink service, 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 An improper access restriction in NI MeasurementLink Python services could allow an attacker on an adjacent network to reach services exposed on localhost. These services were previously thought to be unreachable outside of the node. This affects measurement plug-ins written in Python using version 1.1.0 of the `ni-measurementlink-service` Python package and all previous versions. ### Patches Upgrade all Python measurement plug-ins to use `ni-measurementlink-service` version 1.1.1 or later. ### References Visit [ni.com/info](http://www.ni.com/info) and enter the info code `cve-2023-4570` for more information.
