CVE-2023-46134
CWE-79Published: October 25, 2023· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
D-Tale is the combination of a Flask back-end and a React front-end to view & analyze Pandas data structures. Prior to version 3.7.0, users hosting D-Tale publicly can be vulnerable to remote code execution, allowing attackers to run malicious code on the server. This issue has been patched in version 3.7.0 by turning off "Custom Filter" input by default. The only workaround for versions earlier than 3.7.0 is to only host D-Tale to trusted users.
Risk Analysis
D-Tale versions prior to 3.7.0 are vulnerable to remote code execution due to the 'Custom Filter' feature. Attackers can run arbitrary code on the host server, leading to a full system compromise. This critical vulnerability is addressed in version 3.7.0.
No public exploit is known, and it is not in the CISA KEV. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable with low complexity.
Upgrade to D-Tale 3.7.0 or later. If an upgrade is not possible, restrict access to the D-Tale interface to trusted users only.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-46134 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-79): Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
