CVE-2024-2221Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote code execution via snapshot path traversal

Published Apr 10, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Path traversal in Qdrant before 1.9.0 allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary server files through a snapshot upload. The collection snapshot upload handler accepts the snapshot parameter as a filesystem path without confining the resolved destination to its upload directory. Self-hosted deployments without API-key protection expose the write remotely; Qdrant Cloud requires authentication and its read-only filesystem limits impact to a cluster crash.
