NiceGUI allows potential access to local file system

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Apr 12, 2024 in zauberzeug/nicegui • Updated Apr 15, 2024

Package

pip nicegui (pip)

Affected versions

>= 1.4.6, < 1.4.21

Patched versions

1.4.21

Description

NiceGUI is an easy-to-use, Python-based UI framework. A local file inclusion is present in the NiceUI leaflet component when requesting resource files under the /_nicegui/{__version__}/resources/{key}/{path:path} route.

As a result any file on the backend filesystem which the web server has access to can be read by an attacker with access to the NiceUI leaflet website.

This vulnerability has been addressed in version 1.4.21. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
