Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in eosphoros-ai db-gpt up to 0.6.0. This issue affects some unknown functionality. The manipulation of the argument file_key/doc_file.filename with an unknown input leads to a absolute path traversal vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-36. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize absolute path sequences such as "/abs/path" that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory. Impacted is integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

In eosphoros-ai/db-gpt version 0.6.0, the endpoint for uploading files is vulnerable to absolute path traversal. This vulnerability allows an attacker to upload arbitrary files to arbitrary locations on the target server. The issue arises because the `file_key` and `doc_file.filename` parameters are user-controllable, enabling the construction of paths outside the intended directory. This can lead to overwriting essential system files, such as SSH keys, for further exploitation.
