CVE-2024-6085
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 · uneditedA path traversal vulnerability exists in the XTTS server included in the lollms package, version v9.6. This vulnerability arises from the ability to perform an unauthenticated root folder settings change. Although the read file endpoint is protected against path traversals, this protection can be bypassed by changing the root folder to '/'. This allows attackers to read arbitrary files on the system. Additionally, the output folders can be changed to write arbitrary audio files to any location on the system.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceA path traversal vulnerability exists in the XTTS server of lollms v9.6 where the read file endpoint's path traversal protection can be bypassed by changing the root folder setting to '/', allowing unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the system. Additionally, the output folder setting can be manipulated to write arbitrary audio files to any location on the system.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm lollms installation and versionLocate the lollms installation (e.g., pip show lollms, docker ps, or check installed packages) and verify the installed version is 9.6Affected if lollms version 9.6 is installed
-
Verify XTTS server is accessibleCheck if the XTTS server component is enabled and running in the lollms deployment (check running processes, services, or configuration files that enable XTTS)Affected if XTTS server is enabled and network-accessible
-
Inspect XTTS root folder settingLocate and examine the XTTS server configuration for the root folder setting (commonly in config files, environment variables, or API endpoints that control file access paths)Affected if root folder is set to '/' (root directory) or allows traversal beyond intended boundaries
-
Inspect XTTS output folder settingLocate and examine the XTTS server configuration for the output folder setting (check where audio output is configured to be written)Affected if output folder can be set to arbitrary paths or is not restricted to a safe directory
A user is affected if they have lollms v9.6 running with XTTS server enabled, and the root folder is set to '/' or the output folder is configurable to arbitrary paths.

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.
From vendor dataImplement proper authentication and authorization for the root and output folder settings endpoints, and ensure path traversal protections cannot be bypassed regardless of root folder configuration.
