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-2025-6209 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- llama-index-core (PyPI): affected from 0.11.23; fixed in 0.12.41\n- llama-index-core (PyPI): affected from 0.11.23; fixed in 0.12.41\n- llama-index-core (PyPI): affected from 0.11.23; fixed in 0.12.41\n- llama-index (PyPI): affected from 0.12.27; fixed in 0.12.41\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-2025-6209/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-6209/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-6209","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-6209/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-6209","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2rhq-96q8-4vjq","PYSEC-2025-65","PYSEC-2026-1558"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Python LLM library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can read arbitrary server files via path traversal in the image encoding function of the llama_index library.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"@huntr_ai","cpe":[{"product":"llamaindex","vendor":"llamaindex"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-29","name":"Path Traversal: '\\..\\filename'"}],"description":"A path traversal vulnerability exists in run-llama/llama_index versions 0.12.27 through 0.12.40, specifically within the `encode_image` function in `generic_utils.py`. This vulnerability allows an attacker to manipulate the `image_path` input to read arbitrary files on the server, including sensitive system files. The issue arises due to improper validation or sanitization of the file path, enabling path traversal sequences to access files outside the intended directory.
