CVE-2024-22422Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated server crash via directory deletion

Published Jan 19, 2024 · Updated Sep 10, 2024

Denial of service in Mintplex Labs AnythingLLM before commit 08d33cfd8 allows remote attackers to crash the server through a file-export request. The public data-export route normalizes a filename of "." to the exports directory, accepts it as existing, then passes that directory to an uncaught fs.rmSync call. A single unauthenticated HTTP request terminates the Node.js process, interrupting the AnythingLLM service without reported data disclosure or modification.
