Summary
CVE-2024-10361 is a critical-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Librechat Librechat. Its CVSS base score is 9.1 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data Obfuscation (T1001); ranked in the top 37% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
This vulnerability is AI-related — categorised as LLM Application Platforms; in the Supply Chain and Deployment risk domain.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

CVE-2024-10361 is an arbitrary file deletion vulnerability in danny-avila/librechat version v0.7.5-rc2, affecting the /api/files endpoint due to improper input validation. This flaw enables path traversal attacks (CWE-22), allowing attackers to delete files outside the intended directory. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H), highlighting its critical severity with high impacts on integrity and availability but no confidentiality loss.
Remote attackers require no privileges or user interaction to exploit this over the network with low complexity. Successful exploitation lets them bypass security controls to delete arbitrary files, such as critical system files, user data, or application resources, potentially disrupting system integrity and availability.
Mitigation details are provided in the referenced GitHub commit (https://github.com/danny-avila/librechat/commit/0b744db1e2af31a531ffb761584d85540430639c), which addresses the issue, and the Huntr advisory (https://huntr.com/bounties/e811f7f7-9556-4564-82e2-5b3d17599b2d). Security practitioners should update to a patched version of LibreChat beyond v0.7.5-rc2 and validate inputs to prevent path traversal in file-handling endpoints.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Enforces the intended directory access authorizations that path traversal would otherwise bypass.
Input validation directly neutralizes special path elements before pathname construction occurs.
Least privilege reduces the impact of any unauthorized file access obtained via traversal.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.
PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.
