Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-6868 exists.\n\nAffected product: mudler/localai. 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-2024-6868/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6868/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-6868","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6868/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-6868","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2w8h-hch2-v23h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"LocalAI server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can write arbitrary files via malicious archives, leading to remote code execution by overwriting server assets.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"@huntr_ai","cpe":[{"product":"localai","vendor":"mudler"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"mudler/LocalAI version 2.17.1 allows for arbitrary file write due to improper handling of automatic archive extraction. When model configurations specify additional files as archives (e.g., .tar), these archives are automatically extracted after downloading. This behavior can be exploited to perform a 'tarslip' attack, allowing files to be written to arbitrary locations on the server, bypassing checks that normally restrict files to the models directory. This vulnerability can lead to remote code execution (RCE) by overwriting backend assets used by the server.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Arbitrary File Write in mudler/LocalAI","id":"CVE-2024-6868","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Falang multilanguage for WordPress \u003c= 1.3.52 - Missing Authorization to Translation Update and Information Exposure","id":"CVE-2024-6869"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information Disclosure in lunary-ai/lunary","id":"CVE-2024-6867"},"products":["mudler/localai"],"published":"2024-10-29","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command Injection in mudler/localai","id":"CVE-2024-5181","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-26"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command Injection in mudler/localai","id":"CVE-2024-2029","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Remote Code Execution in mudler/localai","id":"CVE-2024-6983","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-27"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Timing Attack in mudler/localai","id":"CVE-2024-7010","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-29"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Path Traversal in mudler/localai","id":"CVE-2024-5182","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-19"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Vulnerability in mudler/localai","id":"CVE-2024-3135","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-01"}],"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":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-15","vendors":["mudler"]},"summary":"Attackers can write arbitrary files via malicious archives, leading to remote code execution by overwriting server assets.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6868/"}
