Authentication bypass in dtale
man-group/dtale version 3.10.0 is vulnerable to an authentication bypass and remote code execution (RCE) due to improper input validation. The vulnerability arises from a hardcoded SECRET_KEY in the flask configuration, allowing attackers to forge a session cookie if authentication is enabled. Additionally, the application fails to properly restrict custom filter queries, enabling attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server by bypassing the restriction on the /update-settings endpoint, even when enable_custom_filters is not enabled. This vulnerability allows attackers to bypass authentication mechanisms and execute remote code on the server.
