Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability is classified as Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CWE-502), which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code through malicious serialized objects. A vulnerability in infiniflow/ragflow versions v0.12.0 allows for remote code execution. The RPC server in RagFlow uses a hard-coded AuthKey 'authkey=b'infiniflow-token4kevinhu'' which can be easily fetched by attackers to join the group communication without restrictions. Additionally, the server processes incoming data using pickle deserialization via pickle.loads() on connection.recv(), making it vulnerable to remote code execution. This issue is fixed in version 0.14.0. Affected products include: Infiniflow Ragflow. Version information: version 0.14.0..

Executive ViewAI
Organizations using infiniflow/ragflow face critical risk from CVE-2024-12433, a insecure deserialization vulnerability rated CVSS 9.8. Insecure deserialization could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code by providing crafted serialized data. Proof-of-concept code is publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation. A patch is available and should be applied immediately given the critical severity.
Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Restrict deserialization endpoints; (2) Implement integrity checks on serialized data; (3) Use type-safe alternatives.

How this decision was reached
The engine reads each signal below and applies a fixed list of rules from top to bottom. The first rule that matches sets the recommended action – like a statement, every line is shown.
What every action level means
SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
Attack Technique
Insecure deserialization occurs when an application converts serialized data (a stream of bytes representing an object's state) back into a living object without proper validation.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
