Azure Linux 3.0 Security Update: python-jinja2 (CVE-2024-22195)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 215517

Synopsis

The remote Azure Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of python-jinja2 installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-22195 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 affected packages.
