How to Fix CVE-2022-1592

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

scout-browser fixed: 4.52 
pip install scout-browser>=4.52
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 scout-browser

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2022-1592, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show scout-browser

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Scout browser in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 4.52), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show scout-browser 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 Scout browser, 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

Pypi package scout-browser (GitHub repository clinical-genomics/scout) prior to v4.52 is vulnerable to server-side request forgery. An attacker could make the application perform arbitrary requests to steal cookies, request access to private areas, or lead to cross-site scripting.
