GitHub Vulnerability Alerts

CVE-2023-30861

When all of the following conditions are met, a response containing data intended for one client may be cached and subsequently sent by a proxy to other clients. If the proxy also caches Set-Cookie headers, it may send one client's session cookie to other clients. The severity depends on the application's use of the session, and the proxy's behavior regarding cookies. The risk depends on all these conditions being met.

1. The application must be hosted behind a caching proxy that does not strip cookies or ignore responses with cookies.
2. The application sets session.permanent = True.
3. The application does not access or modify the session at any point during a request.
4. SESSION_REFRESH_EACH_REQUEST is enabled (the default).
5. The application does not set a Cache-Control header to indicate that a page is private or should not be cached.

This happens because vulnerable versions of Flask only set the Vary: Cookie header when the session is accessed or modified, not when it is refreshed (re-sent to update the expiration) without being accessed or modified.

• Set Vary: Cookie header when the session is accessed, modified, or refreshed.

v2.2.4

Compare Source

Released 2023-04-25

• Update for compatibility with Werkzeug 2.3.

v2.2.3

Compare Source

Released 2023-02-15

• Autoescape is enabled by default for .svg template files. :issue:4831
• Fix the type of template_folder to accept pathlib.Path. :issue:4892
• Add --debug option to the flask run command. :issue:4777

v2.2.2

Compare Source

Released 2022-08-08

• Update Werkzeug dependency to >= 2.2.2. This includes fixes related
  to the new faster router, header parsing, and the development
  server. :pr:4754
• Fix the default value for app.env to be "production". This
  attribute remains deprecated. :issue:4740

v2.2.1

Compare Source

Released 2022-08-03

• Setting or accessing json_encoder or json_decoder raises a
  deprecation warning. :issue:4732

v2.2.0

Compare Source

Released 2022-08-01

• Remove previously deprecated code. :pr:4667

  • Old names for some send_file parameters have been removed.
    download_name replaces attachment_filename, max_age
    replaces cache_timeout, and etag replaces add_etags.
    Additionally, path replaces filename in
    send_from_directory.
  • The RequestContext.g property returning AppContext.g is
    removed.

• Update Werkzeug dependency to >= 2.2.

• The app and request contexts are managed using Python context vars
  directly rather than Werkzeug's LocalStack. This should result
  in better performance and memory use. :pr:4682

  • Extension maintainers, be aware that _app_ctx_stack.top
    and _request_ctx_stack.top are deprecated. Store data on
    g instead using a unique prefix, like
    g._extension_name_attr.

• The FLASK_ENV environment variable and app.env attribute are
  deprecated, removing the distinction between development and debug
  mode. Debug mode should be controlled directly using the --debug
  option or app.run(debug=True). :issue:4714

• Some attributes that proxied config keys on app are deprecated:
  session_cookie_name, send_file_max_age_default,
  use_x_sendfile, propagate_exceptions, and
  templates_auto_reload. Use the relevant config keys instead.
  :issue:4716

• Add new customization points to the Flask app object for many
  previously global behaviors.

  • flask.url_for will call app.url_for. :issue:4568
  • flask.abort will call app.aborter.
    Flask.aborter_class and Flask.make_aborter can be used
    to customize this aborter. :issue:4567
  • flask.redirect will call app.redirect. :issue:4569
  • flask.json is an instance of JSONProvider. A different
    provider can be set to use a different JSON library.
    flask.jsonify will call app.json.response, other
    functions in flask.json will call corresponding functions in
    app.json. :pr:4692

• JSON configuration is moved to attributes on the default
  app.json provider. JSON_AS_ASCII, JSON_SORT_KEYS,
  JSONIFY_MIMETYPE, and JSONIFY_PRETTYPRINT_REGULAR are
  deprecated. :pr:4692

• Setting custom json_encoder and json_decoder classes on the
  app or a blueprint, and the corresponding json.JSONEncoder and
  JSONDecoder classes, are deprecated. JSON behavior can now be
  overridden using the app.json provider interface. :pr:4692

• json.htmlsafe_dumps and json.htmlsafe_dump are deprecated,
  the function is built-in to Jinja now. :pr:4692

• Refactor register_error_handler to consolidate error checking.
  Rewrite some error messages to be more consistent. :issue:4559

• Use Blueprint decorators and functions intended for setup after
  registering the blueprint will show a warning. In the next version,
  this will become an error just like the application setup methods.
  :issue:4571

• before_first_request is deprecated. Run setup code when creating
  the application instead. :issue:4605

• Added the View.init_every_request class attribute. If a view
  subclass sets this to False, the view will not create a new
  instance on every request. :issue:2520.

• A flask.cli.FlaskGroup Click group can be nested as a
  sub-command in a custom CLI. :issue:3263

• Add --app and --debug options to the flask CLI, instead
  of requiring that they are set through environment variables.
  :issue:2836

• Add --env-file option to the flask CLI. This allows
  specifying a dotenv file to load in addition to .env and
  .flaskenv. :issue:3108

• It is no longer required to decorate custom CLI commands on
  app.cli or blueprint.cli with @with_appcontext, an app
  context will already be active at that point. :issue:2410

• SessionInterface.get_expiration_time uses a timezone-aware
  value. :pr:4645

• View functions can return generators directly instead of wrapping
  them in a Response. :pr:4629

• Add stream_template and stream_template_string functions to
  render a template as a stream of pieces. :pr:4629

• A new implementation of context preservation during debugging and
  testing. :pr:4666

  • request, g, and other context-locals point to the
    correct data when running code in the interactive debugger
    console. :issue:2836
  • Teardown functions are always run at the end of the request,
    even if the context is preserved. They are also run after the
    preserved context is popped.
  • stream_with_context preserves context separately from a
    with client block. It will be cleaned up when
    response.get_data() or response.close() is called.

• Allow returning a list from a view function, to convert it to a
  JSON response like a dict is. :issue:4672

• When type checking, allow TypedDict to be returned from view
  functions. :pr:4695

• Remove the --eager-loading/--lazy-loading options from the
  flask run command. The app is always eager loaded the first
  time, then lazily loaded in the reloader. The reloader always prints
  errors immediately but continues serving. Remove the internal
  DispatchingApp middleware used by the previous implementation.
  :issue:4715

v2.1.3

Released 2022-07-13

• Inline some optional imports that are only used for certain CLI
  commands. :pr:4606
• Relax type annotation for after_request functions. :issue:4600
• instance_path for namespace packages uses the path closest to
  the imported submodule. :issue:4610
• Clearer error message when render_template and
  render_template_string are used outside an application context.
  :pr:4693

v2.1.2

Compare Source

Released 2022-04-28

• Fix type annotation for json.loads, it accepts str or bytes.
  :issue:4519
• The --cert and --key options on flask run can be given
