CVE-2024-41116
CVE-2024-41116 in streamlit-geospatial allows for potential remote code execution due to the use of the eval()
function with unsanitized user input. The vulnerability resides in the vis_params
variable within the Timelapse.py
file. Though CVSS gives a score of 9.8, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30, suggesting a lower immediate risk than the CVSS score suggests. However, because the tag "In The Wild" is present, continuous monitoring is still critical. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server, leading to complete system compromise. Users of streamlit-geospatial should upgrade to the patched version to mitigate this risk. The fix is available in commit c4f81d9616d40c60584e36abb15300853a66e489. This CVE is significant because it highlights the dangers of using eval()
with user-supplied data, a common source of security vulnerabilities.
Description
