CVE-2023-30798

Impact

The MultipartParser using the package python-multipart accepts an unlimited number of multipart parts (form fields or files).

Processing too many parts results in high CPU usage and high memory usage, eventually leading to an OOM process kill.

This can be triggered by sending too many small form fields with no content, or too many empty files.

For this to take effect application code has to:

• Have python-multipart installed and
• call request.form()
  • or via another framework like FastAPI, using form field parameters or UploadFile parameters, which in turn calls request.form().

Patches

The vulnerability is solved in Starlette 0.25.0 by making the maximum fields and files customizable and with a sensible default (1000).

Applications will be secure by just upgrading their Starlette version to 0.25.0 (or FastAPI to 0.92.0).

If application code needs to customize the new max field and file number, there are new request.form() parameters (with the default values):

• max_files=1000
• max_fields=1000

Workarounds

Applications that don't install python-multipart or that don't use form fields are safe.

In older versions, it's also possible to instead of calling request.form() call request.stream() and parse the form data in internal code.

In most cases, the best solution is to upgrade the Starlette version.

References

This was reported in private by @​das7pad via internal email. He also coordinated the fix across multiple frameworks and parsers.

The details about how multipart/form-data is structured and parsed are in the RFC 7578.

CVE-2023-29159

Summary

When using StaticFiles, if there's a file or directory that starts with the same name as the StaticFiles directory, that file or directory is also exposed via StaticFiles which is a path traversal vulnerability.

Details

The root cause of this issue is the usage of os.path.commonprefix():
https://github.com/encode/starlette/blob/4bab981d9e870f6cee1bd4cd59b87ddaf355b2dc/starlette/staticfiles.py#L172-L174

As stated in the Python documentation (https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html#os.path.commonprefix) this function returns the longest prefix common to paths.

When passing a path like /static/../static1.txt, os.path.commonprefix([full_path, directory]) returns ./static which is the common part of ./static1.txt and ./static, It refers to /static/../static1.txt because it is considered in the staticfiles directory. As a result, it becomes possible to view files that should not be open to the public.

The solution is to use os.path.commonpath as the Python documentation explains that os.path.commonprefix works a character at a time, it does not treat the arguments as paths.

PoC

In order to reproduce the issue, you need to create the following structure:

├── static
│   ├── index.html
├── static_disallow
│   ├── index.html
└── static1.txt

And run the Starlette app with:

import uvicorn
from starlette.applications import Starlette
from starlette.routing import Mount
from starlette.staticfiles import StaticFiles

routes = [
    Mount("/static", app=StaticFiles(directory="static", html=True), name="static"),
]

app = Starlette(routes=routes)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    uvicorn.run(app, host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)

And running the commands:

curl --path-as-is 'localhost:8000/static/../static_disallow/'
curl --path-as-is 'localhost:8000/static/../static1.txt'

The static1.txt and the directory static_disallow are exposed.

Impact

Confidentiality is breached: An attacker may obtain files that should not be open to the public.

Security researcher Masashi Yamane of LAC Co., Ltd reported this vulnerability to JPCERT/CC Vulnerability Coordination Group and they contacted us to coordinate a patch for the security issue.

CVE-2024-47874

Summary

Starlette treats multipart/form-data parts without a filename as text form fields and buffers those in byte strings with no size limit. This allows an attacker to upload arbitrary large form fields and cause Starlette to both slow down significantly due to excessive memory allocations and copy operations, and also consume more and more memory until the server starts swapping and grinds to a halt, or the OS terminates the server process with an OOM error. Uploading multiple such requests in parallel may be enough to render a service practically unusable, even if reasonable request size limits are enforced by a reverse proxy in front of Starlette.

PoC

from starlette.applications import Starlette
from starlette.routing import Route

async def poc(request):
    async with request.form():
        pass

app = Starlette(routes=[
    Route('/', poc, methods=["POST"]),
])

curl http://localhost:8000 -F 'big=</dev/urandom'

Impact

This Denial of service (DoS) vulnerability affects all applications built with Starlette (or FastAPI) accepting form requests.

Creating virtualenv slowapi--wDambLS-py3.13 in /home/ubuntu/.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs

The current project's Python requirement (>=3.7,<4.0) is not compatible with some of the required packages Python requirement:
  - starlette requires Python >=3.8, so it will not be satisfied for Python >=3.7,<3.8

Because no versions of starlette match >0.40.0,<0.41.0
 and starlette (0.40.0) requires Python >=3.8, starlette is forbidden.
So, because slowapi depends on starlette (^0.40.0), version solving failed.

  • Check your dependencies Python requirement: The Python requirement can be specified via the `python` or `markers` properties
    
    For starlette, a possible solution would be to set the `python` property to ">=3.8,<4.0"
