CVE-2024-4315: parisneo/lollms Local File Inclusion (LFI) attack
parisneo/lollms version 9.5 is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion (LFI) attacks due to insufficient path sanitization.
CVSS 9.1 Critical EPSS 1.0% · p63
Should you act?
Critical and remotely reachable
No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. This signal is computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS data; it is not an editorial verdict.
- Not in CISA KEV, but CISA’s SSVC assessment records a public proof-of-concept, so attack code exists.
- EPSS 1.0%, percentile 63: FIRST’s model estimates a 1.0% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 63% 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
lollms(PyPI) < 9.5.0, fixed in 9.5.0. Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.
What it is
parisneo/lollms version 9.5 is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion (LFI) attacks due to insufficient path sanitization. The sanitizepathfromendpoint function fails to properly sanitize Windows-style paths (backward slash \), allowing attackers to perform directory traversal attacks on Windows systems. This vulnerability can be exploited through various routes, including personalities and /delpreset, to read or delete any file on the Windows filesystem, compromising the system's availability.
