# CVE-2024-8537: AgentScope path traversal vulnerability

**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 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.

## Affected packages

- PyPI `agentscope` <= 0.1.1 → fixed: none listed

## Affected products (CVE record)

- modelscope modelscope/agentscope: 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): 1.04% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 64.
