CVE-2023-40570 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade datasette to version 1.0a4 or higher.
Overview
datasette is an An open source multi-tool for exploring and publishing data
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure due to leaking names of databases and tables to unauthenticated users.
Note: you are only affected if you have authentication enabled via a plugin such as datasette-auth-passwords.
Workaround
To work around this issue, block all traffic to the /-/api endpoint. This can be done with a proxy such as Apache or NGINX, or by installing the datasette-block plugin and adding the following configuration to your metadata.json or metadata.yml file:
{
"plugins": {
"datasette-block": {
"prefixes": ["/-/api"]
}
}
}
This will block access to the API explorer but will still allow access to the Datasette read or write JSON APIs, as those use different URL patterns within the Datasette /database hierarchy.
