CVE-2024-8769

Date: March 20, 2025

A vulnerability in the "LockManager.release_locks" function in aimhubio/aim (commit bb76afe) allows for arbitrary file deletion through relative path traversal. The "run_hash" parameter, which is user-controllable, is concatenated without normalization as part of a path used to specify file deletion. This vulnerability is exposed through the "Repo._close_run()" method, which is accessible via the tracking server instruction API. As a result, an attacker can exploit this to delete any arbitrary file on the machine running the tracking server.
