AI & LLM Vulnerabilities

Stable-diffusion-webui version 1.7.0 has a vulnerability where user input from the Backup/Restore tab is not properly validated before being used to create file paths, allowing attackers to write JSON files to arbitrary locations on Windows systems where the web server has access. This is a limited file write vulnerability (a security flaw that lets attackers create or modify files in unintended locations) that could let an attacker place malicious files on the server.

Ollama before version 0.1.29 has a DNS rebinding vulnerability (a technique where an attacker tricks a system into connecting to a malicious server by manipulating how domain names are translated into addresses), which allows unauthorized remote access to its full API. This vulnerability could let an attacker interact with the language model, remove models, or cause a denial of service (making a system unavailable by overloading it with requests).

A critical vulnerability was discovered in Qdrant (a vector database system) versions up to 1.6.1, 1.7.4, and 1.8.2 that allows path traversal (a technique where attackers access files outside intended directories) through the Full Snapshot REST API (a web interface for creating system backups). This flaw could let attackers manipulate file paths to access unauthorized files on the system.

CVE-2024-1729 is a timing attack vulnerability (where an attacker guesses a password by measuring how long the system takes to reject it) in the Gradio application's login function. The vulnerability exists because the code directly compares the entered password with the stored password using a simple equality check, which can leak information through response time differences, potentially allowing attackers to bypass authentication and gain unauthorized access.

A server-side request forgery (SSRF, a vulnerability where an attacker tricks a server into making unintended requests to other systems) vulnerability was found in the AI Engine: ChatGPT Chatbot plugin by Jordy Meow, affecting versions up to 2.1.4. The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers to exploit the plugin to perform unauthorized requests.

CVE-2024-2206 is an SSRF vulnerability (server-side request forgery, where an attacker tricks a server into making requests to unintended targets) in Gradio, an AI framework. Attackers can exploit this by sending specially crafted requests with an `X-Direct-Url` header to add arbitrary URLs to a list that the application uses for proxying (forwarding) requests, potentially allowing unauthorized access to internal systems. The vulnerability exists because the application does not properly validate URLs in its `build_proxy_request` function.

CVE-2024-1455 is a vulnerability in the langchain-ai/langchain repository that allows a Billion Laughs Attack, a type of XML External Entity (XXE) exploitation where an attacker nests multiple layers of entities within an XML document to make the parser consume excessive CPU and memory resources, causing a denial of service (DoS, where a system becomes unavailable to legitimate users).
