CVE-2024-8524Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Local JSON disclosure via unchecked example path

Published Mar 20, 2025 · Updated Oct 15, 2025

Path traversal in ModelScope AgentScope 0.0.4 allows remote attackers to read local JSON files through the /read-examples endpoint. The _read_examples function concatenates the request's lang and data values into a workstation_templates path and opens the result without validating containment. No authentication or user interaction is required, but only JSON files readable by the Studio process are exposed.
