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-2024-8238 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- aim (PyPI): affected from 3.0.0 up to 3.22.0; no fix listed\n- aim (PyPI): affected from 3.0.0 up to 3.22.0; no fix listed\n- aim (PyPI): affected from 3.0.0 up to 3.22.0; 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-2024-8238/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8238/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-8238","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8238/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-8238","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r229-5wgf-f28g","PYSEC-2026-1094"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Aim experiment tracking","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can achieve unrestricted code execution or leak secrets via AimQL queries exploiting unsafe str.format_map() usage in Aim.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"@huntr_ai","cpe":[{"product":"aim","vendor":"aimstack"}],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1336","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements Used in a Template Engine"}],"description":"In version 3.22.0 of aimhubio/aim, the AimQL query language uses an outdated version of the safer_getattr() function from RestrictedPython. This version does not protect against the str.format_map() method, allowing an attacker to leak server-side secrets or potentially gain unrestricted code execution. The vulnerability arises because str.format_map() can read arbitrary attributes of Python objects, enabling attackers to access sensitive variables such as os.environ. If an attacker can write files to a known location on the Aim server, they can use str.format_map() to load a malicious .dll/.so file into the Python interpreter, leading to unrestricted code execution.","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":"Unrestricted Code Execution in aimhubio/aim","id":"CVE-2024-8238","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2024"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Starbox \u003c 3.5.3 - Contributor+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-8239"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":[],"introduced":["3.0.0"],"last_affected":["3.22.0"],"package":"aim","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-r229-5wgf-f28g"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":[],"introduced":["3.0.0"],"last_affected":["3.22.0"],"package":"aim","purl":"pkg:pypi/aim","source":"GHSA-r229-5wgf-f28g"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":[],"introduced":["3.0.0"],"last_affected":["3.22.0"],"package":"aim","purl":"pkg:pypi/aim","source":"PYSEC-2026-1094"}],"prev":{"headline":"Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity in GitLab","id":"CVE-2024-8237"},"products":["aimhubio/aim"],"published":"2025-03-20","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Arbitrary File Overwrite and Data Exfiltration in aimhubio/aim","id":"CVE-2024-6396","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Remote Code Execution in aimhubio/aim","id":"CVE-2024-2195","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-10"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Arbitrary File Overwrite through tarfile-extraction in aimhubio/aim","id":"CVE-2024-6829","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-20"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Arbitrary File Deletion via Relative Path Traversal in aimhubio/aim","id":"CVE-2024-8769","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-20"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Aim vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting","id":"CVE-2025-51464","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-22"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"CSRF Vulnerability in aimhubio/aim","id":"CVE-2024-2196","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-10"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Arbitrary file reading vulnerability in Aim","id":"CVE-2021-43775","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-23"}],"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":["aimhubio"]},"summary":"Attackers can achieve unrestricted code execution or leak secrets via AimQL queries exploiting unsafe str.format_map() usage in Aim.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8238/"}
