CVE-2024-0549
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedmintplex-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.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped1.0.0
1.0.0
- Backup the current Anythingllm data directory and database file (anythingllm.db)
- Stop the running Anythingllm container
- Pull the latest Docker image or update to version 1.0.0: docker pull mintplexlabs/anything-llm:latest or docker pull mintplexlabs/anything-llm:v1.0.0
- Restart the Anythingllm container with the new image
- Verify the application is running and the vulnerability is patched by attempting a path traversal in file deletion functionality
- Confirm database file integrity after update
