RHEL 9 : python-jinja2 (RHSA-2024:2348)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 194777

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for python-jinja2.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2024:2348 advisory.

 - Jinja is an extensible templating engine. Special placeholders in the template allow writing code similar to Python syntax. It is possible to inject arbitrary HTML attributes into the rendered HTML template, potentially leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The Jinja `xmlattr` filter can be abused to inject arbitrary HTML attribute keys and values, bypassing the auto escaping mechanism and potentially leading to XSS. It may also be possible to bypass attribute validation checks if they are blacklist-based.
 (CVE-2024-22195)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the RHEL python-jinja2 package based on the guidance in RHSA-2024:2348.
