CWE-453: Insecure Default Variable Initialization

Low
dan1hc published GHSA-879p-8gw4-mcpw Mar 13, 2024

Package

pip fgr (pip)

Affected versions

<0.4.0

Patched versions

0.4.0

Description

Impact

Any users whom would not desire a traceback to be included in their logs whenever an error is raised in their code will be affected.

If users have inadvertently created a scenario in their code that could cause a traceback to include sensitive information and a malicious entity gained access to their log stream, this could create an issue.

Patches

None yet... users will need to upgrade to 0.4.*

Workarounds

No particularly reasonable ones at present.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
