A Newly Discovered Vulnerability of Python Parsing Library Allows Check Bypassing

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- A vulnerability has been discovered in Python's native urllib.parse function (CVE-2023-24329) by cybersecurity researcher Yebo Cao. This vulnerability has the potential to enable server-side request forgery (SSRF) and remote code execution (RCE) in a wide range of scenarios by bypassing the protections set by the developer for scheme and host.

Cao, a master's student at Carnegie Mellon University, owns an Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) certificate and is one of the top 100 security researchers at Bugcrowd. He found that the urllib.parse function has a parsing issue that affects the parsing of the hostname and scheme, causing blocklisting and allowlisting methods to fail.

urllib.parse is a basic URL parsing function widely used in various applications, and one of Python's core functions is urlparse. This issue is caused when the entire URL starts with blank characters.

"I personally think the impact of this vulnerability is huge because this urlparse() library is widely used," Cao said. "Although allowlisting and blocklisting are commonly used security mechanisms in software development, in the affected version of Python's urllib.parse function, the vulnerability can be exploited to bypass the protections set by the developer for scheme and host. This vulnerability can be expected to help SSRF and RCE in a wide range of scenarios."

Blocklisting and allowlisting are commonly used security mechanisms that help to prevent unauthorized access or actions. Allowlisting is a mechanism that allows only certain things, such as IP addresses, domain names, or file types, while blocklisting is a mechanism that prevents access to certain things, such as websites or file extensions. However, the vulnerability in the affected version of Python's urllib.parse function can render both of these mechanisms ineffective, thus increasing the risk of exploitation.

Cao's analysis of the vulnerability, which can be found at https://pointernull.com/security/python-url-parse-problem.html, reveals that allowlisting is also breakable in the affected version of Python. This means that an attacker can potentially exploit the vulnerability to bypass both blocklisting and allowlisting, making it easier to gain unauthorized access.

The vulnerability has been fixed in the latest version of Python, 3.11. However, earlier versions of Python remain vulnerable to exploitation. Users of earlier versions of Python are advised to update to the latest version as soon as possible to mitigate the risk of exploitation.

Cao's discovery highlights the importance of ongoing security research and the need to remain vigilant against potential vulnerabilities in widely used software libraries. Vulnerabilities in such libraries can have far-reaching consequences, potentially affecting numerous applications and systems that rely on them.

To further mitigate the risk of exploitation, developers are advised to conduct regular vulnerability assessments and to keep their software up to date with the latest security patches. Additionally, developers should consider implementing other security mechanisms, such as threat modeling and input validation, to help prevent unauthorized access or actions.

In conclusion, the discovery of this vulnerability in Python's urllib.parse function serves as a reminder of the ongoing need for robust cybersecurity practices and the importance of staying vigilant against potential vulnerabilities in widely used software libraries.

AI-Based Transit Signal Prioritization Helps Buses in Silicon Valley Get Residents Living in Zero-Vehicle Households to Destinations Faster

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County C/CAG) and the Intelligent Transit Signal Prioritization (iTSP) project partners have successfully completed a pilot project that demonstrated a positive impact on improved transit performance in East Palo Alto, Sustainable Silicon Valley (SSV) announced today.

* Without iTSP, buses stop at traffic signals 70% of the time.

* With iTSP deployed at key traffic intersections, buses spent less time idling and got riders to their destinations faster and more efficiently.

* Fact Sheet about the iTSP project - https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1-nIZmFkuuJ-Ow0W5MInB2zu4_eGYtu8l

With funding from C/CAG, Sustainable Silicon Valley (SSV) formed a coalition of public and private stakeholders including San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans), the City of East Palo Alto and technology company LYT, to deliver intelligent transit priority along congested arteries in transit-dependent communities. The City of East Palo Alto is a place where such improvements are most needed and can potentially improve the quality of life for residents.

SSV successfully led the pilot project, creating a blueprint for future investments in regional bus systems. The SSV/ LYT team will present the project findings in a Special Presentation to the City of East Palo Alto City Council at the September 20th, 2022, City Council meeting.

The efficiency of local transit has a direct impact on communities such as East Palo Alto which is designated as an Equity Priority Community by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). This designation is in part due to the number of Zero-Vehicle Households, meaning households that do not own a personal vehicle making it a challenge to get to work, school, etc. In East Palo Atlo, 9% of households do not have a vehicle compared to 6% countywide in San Mateo.

For the pilot project, the coalition deployed LYT's Artificial Intelligence-powered Transit Signal Priority (TSP) technology, called LYT.transit, on a corridor consisting of four signalized intersections in East Palo Alto. This corridor is a subsection of SamTrans route 281 and includes the following intersections: University Ave. at Bay Rd., Runnymede St., Bell St., and Donohoe St.

The iTSP deployment on University Ave. yielded a significant positive impact on several key performance indicators:

* iTSP reduced northbound intersection delays by 45% and southbound intersection delays by 19%.

* These reductions translate to 18% and 7% reductions in travel time for northbound and southbound respectively.

Bringing cities, agencies and tech together around some of the big challenges facing under-represented communities is itself a powerful tool.

"SSV is recognized for creating unique partnerships and we are pleased to identify a solution for a systemic transit issue in East Palo Alto with LYT's innovative technology and introduce SamTrans to an AI-powered TSP solution that scales for wider deployment," said SSV Board Chair Andrew (Drew) Clark.

LYT is a cloud-based software platform that uses state-of-the-art connected vehicle and machine learning technologies to prioritize the flow of vehicles in a city and across a corridor. By optimizing public transport, emergency and other vehicles it enables shorter travel times, less congestion, improved air quality and more reliable mass transit.
