Relative Path Traversal

CVE-2024-6483

Severity Medium
Score 5.3/10

Summary

A vulnerability in the `runs/delete-batch` endpoint of aimhubio/aim allows for arbitrary file or directory deletion through Path Traversal. The endpoint does not mitigate Path Traversal when handling user-specified run-names, which are used to specify log/metadata files for deletion. This can be exploited to delete arbitrary files or directories, potentially causing Denial of Service or data loss.
