prefecthq/prefect: Origin Validation Error
CVE-2024-8183 is a high-severity origin validation error vulnerability in prefecthq/prefect from PrefectHQ, with a CVSS 3.0 base score of 7.6 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. The record lists version 3.0.3 as the first without the flaw, so updating prefecthq/prefect to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.18% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update prefecthq/prefect to 3.0.3 or a later version.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
- Because the attack needs a user to take part, warn users about unexpected links and files related to this product until it is patched.
