How to Fix CVE-2023-40587

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

pyramid fixed: 2.0.2
pip install pyramid>=2.0.2
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 pyramid

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2023-40587, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show pyramid

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Pyramid in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.0.2), your application is affected.

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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'), where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. In Pyramid, 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 This impacts users of Python 3.11 that are using a Pyramid static view with a full filesystem path and have a `index.html` file that is located exactly one directory above the location of the static view's file system path. No further path traversal exists, and the only file that could be disclosed accidentally is `index.html`. Example: ``` config.add_static_view(name='static', path='/usr/src/app/static', cache_max_age=0) ``` And directory tree: ``` /usr/src/app \ | - static \ | - file.css | - index.html | - ... | - index.html <-- (this file could be disclosed with this bug) ``` ### Patches Pyramid now will reject any path that contains a null-byte out of caution. While valid in directory/file names, we would strongly consider it a mistake to use null-bytes in naming files/directories. Secondly, Python 3.11, and 3.12 has fixed the underlying issue in `os.path.normpath` to no longer truncate on the first `0x00` found, returning the behavior to pre-3.11 Python, un an as of yet unreleased version, see: - https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/106242 - https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/106816 At the time the following Python versions are not fixed: - Python 3.11.0 to 3.11.4 - Python 3.12.0a1 to 3.12.0rc1 Fixes will be available in: Python 3.12.0rc2 or 3.11.5. Please note that release candidates of Python are not production ready and should not be used for production workloads. ### Workarounds Use a version of Python 3 that is not affected. Downgrade to Python 3.10 series temporarily, or wait till Python 3.11.5 is released and upgrade to the latest version of Python 3.11 series. ### References - https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Path_Traversal - VN: JVN#41113329 - TN: JPCERT#93311166 ### Thanks - Masashi Yamane of LAC Co., Ltd
