Relative Path Traversal

CVE-2024-6985

Medium
6.9/10

Summary

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the "api open_personality_folder" endpoint of "parisneo/lollms-webui". This vulnerability allows an attacker to read any folder in the "personality_folder" on the victim's computer, even though "sanitize_path" is set. The issue arises due to improper sanitization of the "personality_folder" parameter, which can be exploited to traverse directories and access arbitrary files. This issue affects lollms versions 9.3.0 through 9.5.1.
