CVE-2024-2178Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Arbitrary file read via persona path traversal

Published Jun 2, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Path traversal in ParisNeo LoLLMs WebUI before 9.4 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files through a crafted persona-copy request. The copy_to_custom_personas endpoint in lollms_personalities_infos.py fails to confine category and name values to the intended persona directory, so ../ sequences escape it. No authentication or user interaction is required, and exposed instances can disclose files readable by the server process.
