An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-5550 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- h2o (PyPI): affected all versions up to 3.40.0.4; no fix listed\n- h2o (PyPI): affected all versions up to 3.40.0.4; no fix listed\n- h2o (PyPI): affected all versions up to 3.40.0.4; no fix listed\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-2024-5550/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-5550/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-5550","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-5550/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-5550","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x234-r5fg-x52m","PYSEC-2026-1446"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"H2O AI machine learning","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can view the entire server filesystem via the Typeahead API, exposing sensitive directory structures and aiding further exploitation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"@huntr_ai","cpe":[{"product":"h2o","vendor":"h2o"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"In h2oai/h2o-3 version 3.40.0.4, an exposure of sensitive information vulnerability exists due to an arbitrary system path lookup feature. This vulnerability allows any remote user to view full paths in the entire file system where h2o-3 is hosted. Specifically, the issue resides in the Typeahead API call, which when requested with a typeahead lookup of '/', exposes the root filesystem including directories such as /home, /usr, /bin, among others. This vulnerability could allow attackers to explore the entire filesystem, and when combined with a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability, could make exploitation of the server trivial.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Exposure of Sensitive Information via Arbitrary System Path Lookup in h2oai/h2o-3","id":"CVE-2024-5550","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2024"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WP STAGING PRO - Backup Duplicator \u0026 Migration \u003c= 5.6.0 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Limited Local File Inclusion","id":"CVE-2024-5551"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["3.40.0.4"],"package":"h2o","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-x234-r5fg-x52m"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["3.40.0.4"],"package":"h2o","purl":"pkg:pypi/h2o","source":"GHSA-x234-r5fg-x52m"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["3.40.0.4"],"package":"h2o","purl":"pkg:pypi/h2o","source":"PYSEC-2026-1446"}],"prev":{"headline":"Data leak through CORS misconfiguration in stitionai/devika","id":"CVE-2024-5549"},"products":["h2oai/h2o-3"],"published":"2024-06-06","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"H2O Remote Code Execution via POJO Model Import","id":"CVE-2023-6016","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Deserialization Vulnerability in h2oai/h2o-3","id":"CVE-2025-6544","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-09-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Jdbc Deserialization in h2oai/h2o-3","id":"CVE-2024-10553","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-20"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"External Control of File Name or Path in h2oai/h2o-3","id":"CVE-2023-6569","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-14"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"H2O Local File Include","id":"CVE-2023-6013","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-16"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Local File Inclusion in h2oai/h2o-3","id":"CVE-2023-6038","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-16"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"H2O.ai H2O vulnerable to deserialization attacks via a JDBC Connection URL","id":"CVE-2024-45758","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-06"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"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":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-15","vendors":["h2oai"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can view the entire server filesystem via the Typeahead API, exposing sensitive directory structures and aiding further exploitation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-5550/"}
