What is CVE-2024-4078?
CVE-2024-4078 is a critical code injection vulnerability in parisneo/lollms, published on 16 May 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
A vulnerability in the parisneo/lollms, specifically in the `/unInstall_binding` endpoint, allows for arbitrary code execution due to insufficient sanitization of user input.
