What is CVE-2024-0551?

CVE-2024-0551 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Mintplexlabs Anythingllm, published on 27 Feb 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

Enable exports of the database and associated exported information of the system via the default user role. The attacked would have to have been granted access to the system prior to the attack.

It is worth noting that the deterministic nature of the export name is lower risk as the UI for exporting would start the download at the same time, which once downloaded - deletes the export from the system.

The endpoint for exporting should simply be patched to a higher privilege level.

Weakness: CWE-284
