Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in mintplex-labs anything-llm up to 1.12.0. It has been classified as problematic. This affects the function loadFlow/deleteFlow of the file server/utils/agentFlows/index.js of the component AgentFlows. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-29. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize '\..\filename' (leading backslash dot dot) sequences that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

A path traversal vulnerability exists in mintplex-labs/anything-llm versions up to and including 1.9.1, within the `AgentFlows` component. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of user input in the `loadFlow` and `deleteFlow` methods in `server/utils/agentFlows/index.js`. Specifically, the combination of `path.join` and `normalizePath` allows attackers to bypass directory restrictions and access or delete arbitrary `.json` files on the server. This can lead to information disclosure, such as leaking sensitive configuration files containing API keys, or denial of service by deleting critical files like `package.json`. The issue is resolved in version 1.12.1.

The advisory is shared at huntr.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-5627 since 04/05/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. Additional levels of successful authentication are needed for exploitation. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1006 for this issue.

Upgrading to version 1.12.1 eliminates this vulnerability.
