CVE-2024-57609
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedAn issue in Kanaries Inc Pygwalker before v.0.4.9.9 allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information and execute arbitrary code via the redirect_path parameter of the login redirection function.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidencePygwalker before v0.4.9.9 contains a vulnerability in its login redirection function where the redirect_path parameter is not properly validated, allowing remote attackers to obtain sensitive information and execute arbitrary code. This appears to be a combined open redirect and code injection vulnerability in the authentication flow.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed Pygwalker versionRun 'pip show pygwalker' or check your dependency lock file to find the installed version numberAffected if The installed version is before 0.4.9.9 (e.g., 0.4.9, 0.4.8, etc.)
-
Determine if Pygwalker web interface is in useCheck if Pygwalker is being run as a web service or integrated into an application that exposes the login functionalityAffected if Pygwalker is accessible via web interface and has an authentication/login flow
-
Inspect authentication configurationReview application configuration files or environment variables that control Pygwalker authentication settingsAffected if Authentication is enabled and the redirect_path parameter can be controlled via HTTP request parameters
-
Test redirect behaviorIf you have access to the login endpoint, observe how the redirect_path parameter is handled in the application's response headers or JavaScriptAffected if The application accepts arbitrary redirect_path values and uses them without validation in redirects or URL construction
You are affected if Pygwalker version is below 0.4.9.9 and the login redirection feature is accessible, as the unvalidated redirect_path parameter could lead to information disclosure or code execution.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade to Pygwalker v0.4.9.9 or later. If immediate patching is not possible, implement validation to ensure redirect_path only allows safe, relative URLs and blocks any attempt to inject malicious payloads.
Pygwalker v.0.4.9.9 or later
- 1. Identify the currently installed Pygwalker version by running: pip show pygwalker or checking your requirements.txt/poetry.lock file
- 2. If the installed version is before 0.4.9.9, upgrade to version 0.4.9.9 or later using: pip install pygwalker>=0.4.9.9
- 3. Verify the upgrade was successful by running: pip show pygwalker and confirming the version number
- 4. Test that the application functions correctly with the new version
- 5. If using a package manager like pipenv, poetry, or conda, update the dependency accordingly and reinstall
