From 7c7e358ddb025ce733e98797b71a1e37dc5b70c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2025 01:30:21 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Modernize dependencies and fix security vulnerabilities MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Major changes: 1. Upgrade dependencies to Python 3 and modern versions - Flask: 0.10.1 → 3.0.0+ (9+ years of security fixes) - sh: 1.11 → 2.0.0+ - Removed deprecated dependencies (argparse, wsgiref now in stdlib) 2. Fix critical regex vulnerability in host validation - Added length validation (max 253 chars per RFC 1035) - Fixed improperly escaped hyphen in regex character class - Added validation for leading/trailing dots and hyphens - Prevent consecutive dots in hostnames - Better protection against command injection 3. Modernize Python 2 → Python 3 - Replace deprecated flask.escape() with markupsafe.escape() - Update wsgi.py shebang to python3 - Update README to require Python 3.8+ - All syntax validated for Python 3 compatibility Security impact: Fixes multiple CVEs in outdated Flask/Jinja2 versions and hardens input validation against potential exploits. --- README.md | 2 +- example_configs/uwsgi/wsgi.py | 3 ++- lookingglass.py | 39 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- requirements.txt | 14 ++++++------- 4 files changed, 40 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 0b8c228..6ac5401 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -7,7 +7,7 @@ A \(simple\) Python port of the [LookingGlass](https://github.com/telephone/Look The design is much simpler than the PHP original, leaving rate limiting up to the web server \(the example configs only allow 16 simultaneous connections\) and configuration does involve some manual setup right now \(more on this later\). The original had the option of not presenting the IPv6 options, but this does not. IPv6 adoption is critical and if you are rolling out a new looking glass without IPv6 connectivity you are doing the internet a disservice. ## Requirements -* Python 2.7 (may work on earlier/later versions, not currently tested) +* Python 3.8+ (updated from Python 2.7 for security and modern features) * Virtualenv with all modules from requirements.txt installed (pip install -r requirements.txt) * The ping, mtr, traceroute, and host utilities. Other utilities may be added later. * A method of serving a python WSGI application.
