mesop-dev vulnerabilities and threats

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.

Mesop versions prior to 1.3.3 have an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in debug mode via the /hot-reload endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker can supply a high counter parameter value to cause worker thread exhaustion, leading to server unavailability until manual restart. This denial-of-service condition is fixed in version 1.3.3.

Mesop is a Python-based UI framework that allows users to build web applications. From version 1.2.3 to before version 1.2.5, an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability exists in the WebSocket implementation of the Mesop framework. An unauthenticated attacker can send a rapid succession of WebSocket messages, forcing the server to spawn an unbounded number of operating system threads. This leads to thread exhaustion and Out of Memory (OOM) errors, causing a complete Denial of Service (DoS) for any application built on the framework. This issue has been patched in version 1.2.5.

Mesop is a Python-based UI framework that allows users to build web applications. In versions 1.2.2 and below, an explicit web endpoint inside the ai/ testing module infrastructure directly ingests untrusted Python code strings unconditionally without authentication measures, yielding standard Unrestricted Remote Code Execution. Any individual capable of routing HTTP logic to this server block will gain explicit host-machine command rights. The AI codebase package includes a lightweight debugging Flask server inside ai/sandbox/wsgi_app.py. The /exec-py route accepts base_64 encoded raw string payloads inside the code parameter natively evaluated by a basic POST web request. It saves it rapidly to the operating system logic path and injects it recursively using execute_module(module_path...). This issue has been fixed in version 1.2.3.

Mesop is a Python-based UI framework that allows users to build web applications. Versions 1.2.2 and below contain a Path Traversal vulnerability that allows any user supplying an untrusted state_token through the UI stream payload to arbitrarily target files on the disk under the standard file-based runtime backend. This can result in application denial of service (via crash loops when reading non-msgpack target files as configurations), or arbitrary file manipulation. This vulnerability heavily exposes systems hosted utilizing FileStateSessionBackend. Unauthorized malicious actors could interact with arbitrary payloads overwriting or explicitly removing underlying service resources natively outside the application bounds. This issue has been fixed in version 1.2.3.
