What is CVE-2024-5982?

CVE-2024-5982 is a critical path traversal vulnerability in gaizhenbiao/chuanhuchatgpt, published on 29 Oct 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the latest version of gaizhenbiao/chuanhuchatgpt. The vulnerability arises from unsanitized input handling in multiple features, including user upload, directory creation, and template loading. Specifically, the load_chat_history function in modules/models/base_model.py allows arbitrary file uploads, potentially leading to remote code execution (RCE). The get_history_names function in utils.py permits arbitrary directory creation. Additionally, the load_template function in utils.py can be exploited to leak the first column of CSV files. These issues stem from improper sanitization of user inputs concatenated with directory paths using os.path.join.
