Prior to version 8.0.41, during the proxy generation process (e.g., when using `dirac-proxy-init`), it is possible for unauthorized users on the same machine to gain read access to the proxy. This allows the user to then perform any action that is possible with the original proxy. This vulnerability only exists for a short period of time (sub-millsecond) during the generation process. Version 8.0.41 contains a patch for the issue. As a workaround, setting the `X509_USER_PROXY` environment variable to a path that is inside a directory that is only readable to the current user avoids the potential risk. After the file has been written, it can be safely copied to the standard location (`/tmp/x509up_uNNNN`).","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-668"],"references":["https://github.com/DIRACGrid/DIRAC/commit/1faa709341969a6321e29c843ca94039d33b2c3d","https://github.com/DIRACGrid/DIRAC/security/advisories/GHSA-v6f3-gh5h-mqwx","https://github.com/DIRACGrid/DIRAC/commit/1faa709341969a6321e29c843ca94039d33b2c3d","https://github.com/DIRACGrid/DIRAC/security/advisories/GHSA-v6f3-gh5h-mqwx"],"products":["diracgrid:dirac"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:48:32.179249784+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-29905","score":0.00319,"percentile":0.24915,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-v6f3-gh5h-mqwx","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-v6f3-gh5h-mqwx","summary":"DIRAC: Unauthorized users can read proxy contents during generation","modified":"2026-07-07T17:56:28.414573134Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"dirac","purl":"pkg:pypi/dirac","ranges":["<8.0.41"],"fixed":["8.0.41"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2026-1295","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2026-1295","summary":"DIRAC: Unauthorized users can read proxy contents during generation","modified":"2026-07-07T17:46:33.833093948Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"dirac","purl":"pkg:pypi/dirac","ranges":["<8.0.41"],"fixed":["8.0.41"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
