Arbitrary file read via backslash traversal
Published Jun 6, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Path traversal in ParisNeo LoLLMS before 9.6 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files through crafted Windows-style paths. The sanitize_path_from_endpoint and sanitize_path functions in lollms_core/lollms/security.py fail to reject backslashes in untrusted paths, so Windows resolves them outside the intended directory. An unauthenticated network request to a file-handling endpoint is sufficient; exposed files are limited to those readable by the service account, and bulk inclusion can exhaust resources.

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.
