CVE-2024-3219
The “socket” module provides a pure-Python fallback to the socket.socketpair() function for platforms that don’t support AF_UNIX, such as Windows.
Overview
CVE-2024-3219 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 29, 2024.
Technical description
The
“socket” module provides a pure-Python fallback to the
socket.socketpair() function for platforms that don’t support AF_UNIX,
such as Windows. This pure-Python implementation uses AF_INET or
AF_INET6 to create a local connected pair of sockets. The connection
between the two sockets was not verified before passing the two sockets
back to the user, which leaves the server socket vulnerable to a
connection race from a malicious local peer.
Platforms that support AF_UNIX such as Linux and macOS are not affected by this vulnerability. Versions prior to CPython 3.5 are not affected due to the vulnerable API not being included.
Remediation

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2024-3219?
CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2024-3219 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
