## What is CVE-2024-2379?

CVE-2024-2379 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Apple Macos, published on 27 Mar 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

libcurl skips the certificate verification for a QUIC connection under certain conditions, when built to use wolfSSL. If told to use an unknown/bad cipher or curve, the error path accidentally skips the verification and returns OK, thus ignoring any certificate problems.

Weakness: CWE-295 (Improper Certificate Validation)

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2024-2379 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2024-2379 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Apple Macos, published on 27 Mar 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-2379 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Apple Macos. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
