Server disk exhaustion via unauthenticated uploads
Published Jul 7, 2025 · Updated Jul 7, 2025
Missing authentication in Rowboat's upload route allows remote attackers to exhaust server disk space with unauthenticated file writes. The PUT handler in apps/rowboat/app/api/uploads/[fileId]/route.ts joins the attacker-controlled fileId to RAG_UPLOADS_DIR and writes the request body, while authentication middleware omits the upload route. The route is exposed when uploads are enabled; repeated unauthenticated requests can consume disk space and interrupt the service, with no demonstrated code execution.
