CVE-2023-48224
CVSS 3.1 Score 9.1 of 10 (high)
Details
Summary
CVE-2023-48224 is a vulnerability affecting the Fides open-source privacy engineering platform. The issue lies in the generation of one-time codes for data subject verification during privacy and consent requests. These codes are produced using the python `random` module, which is a cryptographically weak pseudorandom number generator. An attacker can predict future one-time codes by generating several hundred consecutive codes, allowing them to submit verified erasure or consent requests, potentially deleting data or modifying privacy preferences for targeted users. This vulnerability, which does not impact data access requests, has been patched in Fides version 2.24.0. Users are strongly advised to upgrade to this version to mitigate the risk. No known workarounds exist for this issue.
