Which packages are affected by CVE-2024-27292?

CVE-2024-27292 affects the following packages: docassemble-webapp (PyPI), docassemble-base (PyPI). Ecosystems affected: PyPI.

How do I fix CVE-2024-27292?

Update docassemble-webapp to 1.4.97 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-27292 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2024-27292 in my PyPI dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for docassemble-webapp. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2024-27292 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2024-27292?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2024-27292 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2024-27292 actively exploited in the wild?

Yes. There are 3 known exploit references for CVE-2024-27292, including 1 in-the-wild exploitation observed on GitHub and other sources. Treat this as actively exploitable and prioritize patching immediately. All exploit code should only be run in an isolated sandbox environment for research or authorized testing — never against production systems without explicit written authorization.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2024-27292?

CVE-2024-27292 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 69.5%, placing it in the 99th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. A score above 50% indicates significantly elevated exploitation risk — immediate patching is strongly recommended.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2024-27292?

CVE-2024-27292 is classified as CWE-706 (CWE-706). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

Is there exploit tooling available for CVE-2024-27292?

A Nuclei detection template exists for CVE-2024-27292, meaning automated scanners can fingerprint it. Public exploit tooling significantly increases real-world risk — prioritize patching and ensure detection coverage. Exploit tooling should only ever be used in isolated, authorized testing environments.

When was CVE-2024-27292 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2024-27292 was published on February 29, 2024 and was last updated on July 15, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.
