Security Impact
CVSS: 5.3
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N).
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.
pip install pyramid>=2.0.2
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.

"details" : "### Impact\n\nThis 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`.\n\nExample:\n\n```\nconfig.add_static_view(name='static', path='/usr/src/app/static', cache_max_age=0)\n```\n\nAnd directory tree:\n\n```\n/usr/src/app \\\n | - static \\\n | - file.css\n | - index.html\n | - ...\n | - index.html <-- (this file could be disclosed with this bug)\n```\n\n### Patches\n\nPyramid 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.\n\nSecondly, 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:\n\n- https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/106242\n- https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/106816\n\nAt the time the following Python versions are not fixed:\n\n- Python 3.11.0 to 3.11.4\n- Python 3.12.0a1 to 3.12.0rc1\n\nFixes will be available in: Python 3.12.0rc2 or 3.11.5.\n\nPlease note that release candidates of Python are not production ready and should not be used for production workloads.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nUse 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.\n\n### References\n\n- https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Path_Traversal\n- VN: JVN#41113329\n- TN: JPCERT#93311166\n\n### Thanks\n\n- Masashi Yamane of LAC Co., Ltd",
