Authenticated file deletion via unnormalized paths
Published Apr 16, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Relative path traversal in AnythingLLM before 1.0.0 allows remote authenticated users with a default role to delete filesystem data. The purgeSourceDocument and purgeFolder paths resolve attacker-controlled names and pass the results to filesystem removal operations without first stripping traversal segments. A default-role account can therefore escape the document directory and delete application data, including the SQLite database, interrupting service.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=0 <1.0.0
- Affected versionversion=unspecified <1.0.0
