Unauthenticated code execution via extension path traversal
Published Jun 22, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Path traversal in LoLLMS before 9.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through a crafted /mount_extension request. The handler accepts empty or absolute category and folder values, appends the resulting path to the extension list, and dynamically loads its init.py. No authentication is required, but code execution depends on planting config.yaml and init.py in a known server-side discussion path.

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 <=5.9.0
- Affected versionversion=unspecified <9.8
