CVE-2024-4498
June 25, 2024
A Path Traversal and Remote File Inclusion (RFI) vulnerability exists in the parisneo/lollms-webui application, affecting versions v9.7 to the latest. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input validation in the "/apply_settings" function, allowing an attacker to manipulate the "discussion_db_name" parameter to traverse the file system and include arbitrary files. This issue is compounded by the bypass of input filtering in the "install_binding", "reinstall_binding", and "unInstall_binding" endpoints, despite the presence of a "sanitize_path_from_endpoint(data.name)" filter. Successful exploitation enables an attacker to upload and execute malicious code on the victim's system, leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE).
