flask@0.5.1 vulnerabilities

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure in the form of exposing the permanent session cookie, when all of the following conditions are met:

1. The application is 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.

A response containing data intended for one client may be cached and sent to other clients. If the proxy also caches Set-Cookie headers, it may send one client's session cookie to other clients. Under these conditions, the Vary: Cookie header is not set when a session is refreshed (re-sent to update the expiration) without being accessed or modified.

Upgrade flask to version 2.2.5, 2.3.2 or higher.
