How severe is CVE-2024-52524?

No CVSS score has been assigned to CVE-2024-52524 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2024-52524?

CVE-2024-52524 affects the following packages: giskard (PyPI). Ecosystems affected: PyPI.

How do I fix CVE-2024-52524?

Update giskard to 2.15.5 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-52524 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2024-52524 in my PyPI dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for giskard, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2024-52524 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Cap what an attacker can consume: apply request size, rate and timeout limits in front of the affected component, and run it with memory and CPU limits so exhaustion degrades one worker rather than the whole service.

Is CVE-2024-52524 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2024-52524 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2024-52524?

CVE-2024-52524 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.8%, placing it in the 57th 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. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2024-52524?

CVE-2024-52524 is classified as CWE-1333 (CWE-1333). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2024-52524 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2024-52524 was published on November 14, 2024 and was last updated on October 28, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

ReDoS in Giskard text perturbation detector

A Remote Code Execution (ReDoS) vulnerability was discovered in Giskard component by the GitHub Security Lab team. When processing datasets with specific text patterns with Giskard detectors, this vulnerability could trigger exponential regex evaluation times, potentially leading to denial of service.

Details

The vulnerability affects Giskard's punctuation removal transformation used in the text perturbation detection. A regex used to detect URLs and links was vulnerable to catastrophic backtracking that could be triggered by specific patterns in the text.

Affected version

Giskard versions prior to 2.15.5 are affected. Users should upgrade to version 2.15.5 or later, which includes a fix for this vulnerability.

Impact

This vulnerability can cause extended computation times or crashes in Giskard when processing text containing certain patterns.

Credit

This issue was discovered and reported by GHSL team member @kevinbackhouse (Kevin Backhouse).
