Noroxi assessment

Priority: Plan (action score 40/100)

  • A ready-made attack module is public (Metasploit); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
  • Because a ready-made attack tool exists, priority is at least “Plan”.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 38.6% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 98.5% of all records.
  • Fixed version: graphite-web (Debian:12) 0.9.12+debian-1; graphite-web (PyPI) 0.9.11.

Add it to your regular patch cycle. Upgrade to graphite-web (Debian:12) 0.9.12+debian-1; graphite-web (PyPI) 0.9.11 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

The renderLocalView function in render/views.py in graphite-web in Graphite 0.9.5 through 0.9.10 uses the pickle Python module unsafely, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized object.
