Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-33979 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: binary-husky gpt_academic. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-33979/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-33979/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-33979","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-33979/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-33979","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pg65-p24m-wf5g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ChatGPT interface","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can read sensitive configuration files via the /file route in gpt_academic, exposing secrets stored in config.py or Dockerfiles.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"gpt_academic","vendor":"binary-husky"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"gpt_academic provides a graphical interface for ChatGPT/GLM. A vulnerability was found in gpt_academic 3.37 and prior. This issue affects some unknown processing of the component Configuration File Handler. The manipulation of the argument file leads to information disclosure. Since no sensitive files are configured to be off-limits, sensitive information files in some working directories can be read through the `/file` route, leading to sensitive information leakage. This affects users that uses file configurations via `config.py`, `config_private.py`, `Dockerfile`. A patch is available at commit 1dcc2873d2168ad2d3d70afcb453ac1695fbdf02. As a workaround, one may use environment variables instead of `config*.py` files to configure this project, or use docker-compose installation to configure this project.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"gpt_academic's Configuration File vulnerable to File Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2023-33979","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Bramble Synchronisation Protocol (BSP) in Briar before 1.4.22 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (repeated application crashes) v","id":"CVE-2023-33980"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Stored cross site scripting (XSS) via unrestricted file upload in Kiwi TCMS","id":"CVE-2023-33977"},"products":["gpt_academic"],"published":"2023-05-31","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"GPT Academic run_in_subprocess_wrapper_func Deserialization of Untrusted Data Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-0763","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"GPT Academic upload Deserialization of Untrusted Data Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-0764","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"GPT Academic: Pickle deserializing cookies may pose RCE risk","id":"CVE-2024-31224","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code Injection in binary-husky/gpt_academic","id":"CVE-2024-10950","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-20"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Prompt Injection Leading to RCE in binary-husky/gpt_academic Plugin `manim`","id":"CVE-2024-10954","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-20"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Local File Read (LFI) by Tarslip Symlink via arxiv_download() API in binary-husky/gpt_academic","id":"CVE-2024-10986","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-20"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data in binary-husky/gpt_academic","id":"CVE-2024-11039","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-20"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-01-09","vendors":["binary-husky"]},"summary":"Attackers can read sensitive configuration files via the /file route in gpt_academic, exposing secrets stored in config.py or Dockerfiles.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-33979/"}
