Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

prevent

Directly requires validation of inputs like file paths and names to block path traversal and arbitrary file writes exploited in this CVE.

AC-6 Least Privilege good match

prevent

Applies least privilege to the web application process, preventing malicious file writes to sensitive locations like Python site-packages even if upload succeeds.

SI-9 Information Input Restrictions partial match

prevent

Restricts classes of inputs to limit file uploads to authorized types and safe paths, mitigating arbitrary upload risks.

Why these techniques?

The CVE describes an arbitrary file upload vulnerability with path traversal in a public-facing web API, directly enabling exploitation of public-facing applications (T1190) and allowing upload of malicious Python code (e.g., __init__.py to site-packages) for RCE via the Python interpreter (T1059.006).

NVD Description

In eosphoros-ai/db-gpt version v0.6.0, the web API `POST /v1/personal/agent/upload` is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload with Path Traversal. This vulnerability allows unauthorized attackers to upload arbitrary files to the victim's file system at any location. The impact of this vulnerability…

includes the potential for remote code execution (RCE) by writing malicious files, such as a malicious `__init__.py` in the Python's `/site-packages/` directory.

Deeper analysisAI

CVE-2024-10902, published on 2025-03-20, is an Arbitrary File Upload vulnerability with Path Traversal in eosphoros-ai/db-gpt version v0.6.0. The affected component is the web API endpoint `POST /v1/personal/agent/upload`, which fails to properly validate file paths, enabling attackers to write arbitrary files to any location on the victim's file system.

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and is associated with CWE-22. Unauthorized remote attackers can exploit it with low complexity, no privileges, and no user interaction required. Exploitation allows uploading malicious files anywhere, potentially leading to remote code execution (RCE), such as by writing a malicious `__init__.py` file to Python's `/site-packages/` directory.
