AI-suggested
To mitigate CVE-2024-12215, European organizations should immediately audit their use of Kedro, especially version 0.19.8 or earlier, and restrict or disable the pull_package() API function if possible. Until an official patch is released, organizations should implement strict validation and whitelisting of package sources to prevent downloading untrusted or malicious packages. Running Kedro processes with least privilege and within isolated environments or containers can limit the impact of potential exploitation. Monitoring network traffic and API calls for unusual package download activity can help detect exploitation attempts. Organizations should also educate developers and data scientists about the risks of executing code from untrusted sources and enforce policies to avoid automatic execution of setup.py scripts from external packages. Regularly checking for updates from the Kedro project and applying security patches as soon as they become available is critical. Additionally, integrating runtime application self-protection (RASP) or endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions can help detect and block suspicious behavior related to this vulnerability.
Description
In kedro-org/kedro version 0.19.8, the `pull_package()` API function allows users to download and extract micro packages from the Internet. However, the function `project_wheel_metadata()` within the code path can execute the `setup.py` file inside the tar file, leading to remote code execution (RCE) by running arbitrary commands on the victim's machine.
