LOLLMS WebUI - Absolute Path Traversal

id: CVE-2024-6250

info:
  name: LOLLMS WebUI - Absolute Path Traversal
  author: ritikchaddha
  severity: high
  description: |
    An absolute path traversal vulnerability exists in parisneo/lollms-webui v9.6, specifically in the open_file endpoint of lollms_advanced.py. The sanitize_path function with allow_absolute_path=True allows an attacker to access arbitrary files and directories on a Windows system. This vulnerability can be exploited to read any file and list arbitrary directories on the affected system.
  impact: |
    Attackers can read arbitrary files and list directories, leading to information disclosure and potential further exploitation.
  remediation: |
    Update to the latest version where the vulnerability is fixed or modify the `sanitize_path` function to disallow absolute paths.
