# CVE-2024-10833: DB-GPT Absolute Path Traversal in knowledge/{space_name}/document/upload

**Signal:** Critical and remotely reachable. No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- Not in CISA KEV , but CISA’s SSVC assessment records a public proof-of-concept, so attack code exists.
- EPSS 0.8% , percentile 57: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.8% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 57% of all scored CVEs (moderate). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes dbgpt (PyPI) < 0.6.2, fixed in 0.6.2 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

eosphoros-ai/db-gpt version 0.6.0 is vulnerable to an arbitrary file write through the knowledge API. The endpoint for uploading files as 'knowledge' is susceptible to absolute path traversal, allowing attackers to write files to arbitrary locations on the target server. This vulnerability arises because the 'docfile.filename' parameter is user-controllable, enabling the construction of absolute paths.

## Affected packages

- PyPI `dbgpt` < 0.6.2 → fixed: 0.6.2

## Affected products (CVE record)

- eosphoros-ai eosphoros-ai/db-gpt: unspecified <= latest

## Severity

- @huntr_ai CVSS 3.0: 9.1 `CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H`
- GitHub CVSS 3.1: 9.1 `CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation poc , automatable yes , technical impact partial .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 0.84% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 57.
