CVE-2024-8537: AgentScope path traversal vulnerability
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the modelscope/agentscope application, affecting all versions.
CVSS 9.1 Critical EPSS 1.0% · p64
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 64: FIRST’s model estimates a 1.0% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 64% 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
agentscope(PyPI) <= 0.1.1, no fixed version listed. Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.
What it is
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the modelscope/agentscope application, affecting all versions. The vulnerability is present in the /delete-workflow endpoint, allowing an attacker to delete arbitrary files from the filesystem. This issue arises due to improper input validation, enabling the attacker to manipulate file paths and delete sensitive files outside of the intended directory.
