## What is CVE-2024-7771?

CVE-2024-7771 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in Mintplexlabs Anythingllm, published on 20 Mar 2025. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

A vulnerability in the Dockerized version of mintplex-labs/anything-llm (latest, digest 1d9452da2b92) allows for a denial of service. Uploading an audio file with a very low sample rate causes the functionality responsible for transcribing it to crash the entire site instance. The issue arises from the localWhisper implementation, where resampling the audio file from 1 Hz to 16000 Hz quickly exceeds available memory, leading to the Docker instance being killed by the instance manager.

Weakness: CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption)

Check this codebase for CVE-2024-7771 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2024-7771 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in Mintplexlabs Anythingllm, published on 20 Mar 2025. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-7771 exists.

Affected product: Mintplexlabs Anythingllm. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
