Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Mar 13, 2024 in ckan/ckan • Updated Mar 13, 2024

Package

pip ckan (pip)

Affected versions

< 2.9.11
>= 2.10.0, < 2.10.4

Patched versions

Description

A user endpoint didn't perform filtering on an incoming parameter, which was added directly to the application log. This could lead to an attacker injecting false log entries or corrupt the log file format.

Workarounds

Override the /user/reset endpoint to filter the id parameter in order to exclude newlines
