Authentication Bypass and RCE in man-group/dtale

man-group · man-group/dtale

Summary

The man-group/dtale product (version 3.10.0) contains an authentication bypass and remote code execution flaw in its Flask configuration and custom filter handling, stemming from a hardcoded SECRET_KEY and insufficient input validation. An attacker with network access and no privileges or user interaction can forge a session cookie when authentication is enabled, and can execute arbitrary code on the server via the /update-settings endpoint even when enable_custom_filters is turned off.

Official description · CVE.org

man-group/dtale version 3.10.0 is vulnerable to an authentication bypass and remote code execution (RCE) due to improper input validation. The vulnerability arises from a hardcoded `SECRET_KEY` in the flask configuration, allowing attackers to forge a session cookie if authentication is enabled. Additionally, the application fails to properly restrict custom filter queries, enabling attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server by bypassing the restriction on the `/update-settings` endpoint, even when `enable_custom_filters` is not enabled. This vulnerability allows attackers to bypass authentication mechanisms and execute remote code on the server.
