Arbitrary file read via unsanitized path
Published Mar 20, 2025 · Updated Mar 20, 2025
Path traversal in the /api/file endpoint in ModelScope AgentScope 0.0.4 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary server files. The _get_file handler passes the attacker-controlled path query value directly to Flask's send_file without constraining it to an intended directory. No authentication or user interaction is required; disclosure is limited to files readable by the AgentScope Studio process.
