SCA: security update for label-studio (GHSA-fq23-g58m-799r)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 414631

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Label Studio, an open source data labeling tool had a remote import feature allowed users to import data
from a remote web source, that was downloaded and could be viewed on the website. Prior to version 1.10.1,
this feature could had been abused to download a HTML file that executed malicious JavaScript code in the
context of the Label Studio website. Executing arbitrary JavaScript could result in an attacker performing
malicious actions on Label Studio users if they visit the crafted avatar image. For an example, an
attacker can craft a JavaScript payload that adds a new Django Super Administrator user if a Django
administrator visits the image. `data_import/uploader.py` lines 125C5 through 146 showed that if a URL
passed the server side request forgery verification checks, the contents of the file would be downloaded
using the filename in the URL. The downloaded file path could then be retrieved by sending a request to
`/api/projects/{project_id}/file-uploads?ids=[{download_id}]` where `{project_id}` was the ID of the
project and `{download_id}` was the ID of the downloaded file. Once the downloaded file path was retrieved
by the previous API endpoint, `data_import/api.py`lines 595C1 through 616C62 demonstrated that the
`Content-Type` of the response was determined by the file extension, since `mimetypes.guess_type` guesses
the `Content-Type` based on the file extension. Since the `Content-Type` was determined by the file
extension of the downloaded file, an attacker could import in a `.html` file that would execute JavaScript
when visited. Version 1.10.1 contains a patch for this issue. Other remediation strategies are also
available. For all user provided files that are downloaded by Label Studio, set the `Content-Security-
Policy: sandbox;` response header when viewed on the site. The `sandbox` directive restricts a page's
actions to prevent popups, execution of plugins and scripts and enforces a `same-origin` policy.
Alternatively, restrict the allowed file extensions that may be downloaded. (CVE-2024-23633)
