It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-6210 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- llama-index-readers-obsidian (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.5.2\n- llama-index-readers-obsidian (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.5.2\n- llama-index-readers-obsidian (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.5.2\n- llama-index (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.5.2\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-2025-6210/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-6210/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-6210","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-6210/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-6210","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3j8r-jf9w-5cmh","PYSEC-2025-252","PYSEC-2026-1567"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Python LLM library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass path restrictions to read sensitive system files via hardlinks in the ObsidianReader class 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":6.2,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the ObsidianReader class of the run-llama/llama_index repository, specifically in version 0.12.27, allows for hardlink-based path traversal. This flaw permits attackers to bypass path restrictions and access sensitive system files, such as /etc/passwd, by exploiting hardlinks. The vulnerability arises from inadequate handling of hardlinks in the load_data() method, where the security checks fail to differentiate between real files and hardlinks.
