CVE-2024-4322
Lollms Web Ui ≤ 9.8
Raw vector
CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:NCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2024-4322 is a high-severity Path Traversal: '\..\filename' (CWE-29) vulnerability in Lollms Lollms Web Ui. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 2% 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 Privacy and Disclosure risk domain.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and AC-3 (Access Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the parisneo/lollms-webui application, specifically in the /list_personalities endpoint. Manipulation of the category parameter allows an attacker to traverse the directory structure and list arbitrary directories on the underlying system. The issue stems from improper handling of user-supplied input in the list_personalities function and affects the latest version of the application. It is tracked as CWE-29 with a CVSS 3.0 score of 7.5.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit the flaw over the network without user interaction or credentials. Successful exploitation yields disclosure of folder listings across the system drive, potentially exposing sensitive directory structures and file organization.
The vulnerability was reported through huntr.com bounties at the referenced URLs, which document the path traversal vector but do not detail available patches or configuration mitigations. The associated EPSS score reached a peak of 0.5533 before receding to the current value of 0.4516.

Vulnerability Data
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the parisneo/lollms-webui application, specifically within the `/list_personalities` endpoint. By manipulating the `category` parameter, an attacker can traverse the directory structure and list any directory on the system. This issue affects the latest version of…
more
the application. The vulnerability is due to improper handling of user-supplied input in the `list_personalities` function, where the `category` parameter can be controlled to specify arbitrary directories for listing. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to list all folders in the drive on the system, potentially leading to information disclosure.

- Classification Reason
- The vulnerability affects parisneo/lollms-webui, a web user interface for Lord of Large Language Models (LOLLLMS), which is an open-source platform for running and interacting with LLMs, fitting under 'Other Platforms' as it is neither a framework, library, nor specific to NLP/Transformers, CV, etc., but a broader AI deployment platform.

Input validation directly neutralizes the '\..\filename' sequence before pathname resolution occurs.
Access enforcement denies requests that resolve outside the intended directory even when the traversal sequence is present.

Security testing can discover path-traversal flaws but does not itself prevent them in production code.
Application security requirements can mandate input validation and path canonicalization to block traversal sequences.
Secure architecture principles include directory sandboxing and safe file-access design that mitigate path traversal.
Secure coding standards directly require neutralizing path traversal sequences such as '\..\filename'.
