GHSA-747f-ww56-4q4h: Kedro deserialization vulnerability
A critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability exists in the Kedro ShelveStore class version 0.19.8 and earlier. The vulnerability arises from unsafe deserialization of data using Python's shelve module, which relies on pickle. An attacker can craft a malicious payload that, when deserialized by ShelveStore, allows arbitrary Python code execution, potentially leading to full system compromise. No official patch or fix is currently documented. Users should avoid deserializing untrusted data with ShelveStore until a fix is available.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Kedro ShelveStore class (versions prior to 0.19.9) uses Python's shelve module for session data management, which internally uses pickle for serialization. This introduces a deserialization vulnerability (CWE-502) that allows remote code execution if an attacker can supply a malicious payload to be deserialized. The vulnerability is identified as CVE-2024-9701 and carries a critical severity rating. No patch or official remediation has been documented at this time.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation results in arbitrary Python code execution on the affected system, leading to potential full system compromise. Confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system are all critically impacted due to the nature of remote code execution.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, avoid using the ShelveStore class with untrusted data inputs or disable features that deserialize data from untrusted sources. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
