4DescriptionGitHub Advisory
NiceGUI is a Python-based UI framework. From versions v2.10.0 to 3.4.1, an unauthenticated attacker can exhaust Redis connections by repeatedly opening and closing browser tabs on any NiceGUI application using Redis-backed storage. Connections are never released, leading to service degradation when Redis hits its connection limit. NiceGUI continues accepting new connections - errors are logged but the app stays up with broken storage functionality. This issue has been patched in version 3.5.0.
AnalysisAI
NiceGUI versions 2.10.0 through 3.4.1 fail to properly release Redis connections when users open and close browser tabs, allowing unauthenticated attackers to exhaust the Redis connection pool and degrade service functionality. An attacker can repeatedly trigger connection leaks without authentication, causing storage errors and degraded performance once connection limits are reached. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, which is patched in version 3.5.0.
