Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: mesop-dev
Product: mesop

Description

Mesop is a Python-based UI framework that allows users to build web applications. Prior to 1.3.4, the unauthenticated /__csp__ endpoint passes attacker-controlled document-uri, blocked-uri, and violated-directive values to the csp_report handler in mesop/server/static_file_serving.py, which prints them to standard output without neutralizing terminal control sequences. When an operator views the resulting logs in an ANSI-capable terminal, injected ANSI or VT100 sequences can clear or reposition the display, hide text, or present forged messages, reducing the integrity of monitoring and incident-response output. This issue is fixed in version 1.3.4.

Technical Analysis

Mesop versions before 1.3.4 have an improper output neutralization vulnerability (CWE-117) in the /__csp__ endpoint. Attacker-controlled parameters document-uri, blocked-uri, and violated-directive are passed to the csp_report handler and printed to standard output without sanitization of terminal control sequences. This can lead to log injection attacks where ANSI or VT100 sequences alter terminal display, undermining log integrity and operator monitoring. The vulnerability is addressed in mesop version 1.3.4.

Potential Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can inject terminal control sequences into logs via the /__csp__ endpoint, causing log display manipulation such as clearing, repositioning, hiding text, or forging messages. This reduces the reliability and integrity of monitoring and incident response processes that rely on these logs. There is no indication of direct code execution or data compromise beyond log integrity.

Mitigation Recommendations

Upgrade mesop to version 1.3.4 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed by properly neutralizing terminal control sequences in log output. No other mitigation is required as the fix is official and available.
