DescriptionCVE.org
A Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in the '/reinstall_extension' endpoint of the parisneo/lollms-webui application, specifically within the name parameter of the @router.post("/reinstall_extension") route. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject a malicious name parameter, leading to the server loading and executing arbitrary Python files from the upload directory for discussions. This issue arises due to the concatenation of data.name directly with lollmsElfServer.lollms_paths.extensions_zoo_path and its use as an argument for ExtensionBuilder().build_extension(). The server's handling of the __init__.py file in arbitrary locations, facilitated by importlib.machinery.SourceFileLoader, enables the execution of arbitrary code, such as command execution or creating a reverse-shell connection. This vulnerability affects the latest version of parisneo/lollms-webui and can lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE) when the application is exposed to an external endpoint or the UI, especially when bound to 0.0.0.0 or in headless mode. No user interaction is required for exploitation.
Executive ViewAI
A critical vulnerability in the lollms-webui application allows attackers to read arbitrary files from affected systems through the extension reinstall feature, potentially exposing sensitive data, credentials, and configuration information. Organizations running this application face immediate risk of data breach and system compromise if the vulnerability is actively exploited.
Implement WAF rules to block requests to the '/reinstall_extension' endpoint with suspicious 'name' parameters; segment the application network to limit lateral movement; disable the extension reinstall feature if operationally feasible; require multi-factor authentication for administrative access; implement file access monitoring and alerting for sensitive directories; run the application with least-privilege user permissions to restrict file read scope.
