NVD description

mintplex-labs/anything-llm is vulnerable to a relative path traversal attack, allowing unauthorized attackers with a default role account to delete files and folders within the filesystem, including critical database files such as 'anythingllm.db'. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation and normalization in the handling of file and folder deletion requests. Successful exploitation results in the compromise of data integrity and availability.

What to do

  • Upgrade AnythingLLM to 1.0.0 or later.
  • Do not expose the component's API or UI to the internet without authentication in front of it.
