How to fix?

Upgrade ethyca-fides to version 2.19.0 or higher.

Overview

ethyca-fides is an Open-source ecosystem for data privacy as code.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) in the fides.toml file and the FIDES__SECURITY__ALLOW_CUSTOM_CONNECTOR_FUNCTIONS variable.

Note: Exploitation is only possible if the security configuration parameter allow_custom_connector_functions is enabled by the user deploying the Fides webserver container, either in fides.toml or by setting the env var FIDES__SECURITY__ALLOW_CUSTOM_CONNECTOR_FUNCTIONS=True. By default this configuration parameter is disabled.
