Published Jun 6, 2024
·
Updated

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the parisneo/lollms application, specifically within the sanitizepathfromendpoint and sanitizepath functions in lollmscore\lollms\security.py. This vulnerability allows for arbitrary file reading when the application is running on Windows. The issue arises due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input, enabling attackers to bypass the path traversal protection mechanisms by crafting malicious input. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive files, information disclosure, and potentially a denial of service (DoS) condition by including numerous large or resource-intensive files. This vulnerability affects the latest version prior to 9.5.0.
