Arbitrary JSON deletion via history path traversal
Published Jul 31, 2024 · Updated Aug 30, 2024
Path traversal in ChuanhuChatGPT 20240410 allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary JSON files through the web interface. The history-deletion handler accepts an attacker-controlled filename and deletes the resulting path without verifying that it remains in the history directory. No authentication or user interaction is required; deleting configuration or chatbot data can corrupt settings, destroy data, or interrupt service.
