2DescriptionCVE.org
A flaw has been found in houtini-ai houtini-lm up to 2.13.2. The impacted element is an unknown function of the file src/index.ts of the component code_task_files. Executing a manipulation can lead to path traversal. The attack can be launched remotely. This patch is called 35d97bca0531894da36a85aedb95312da1bd5b7a. It is best practice to apply a patch to resolve this issue.
AnalysisAI
Path traversal in houtini-lm (versions up to 2.13.2) allows an authenticated remote user to supply crafted absolute paths to the code_task_files tool, causing the server to read files outside its intended working directory. Because code_task_files forwards file contents directly to the configured LLM endpoint - which may be a remote provider such as OpenRouter - a successful traversal can silently exfiltrate sensitive files (SSH keys, environment files, cloud credentials) off the machine to a third-party service. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must hold a valid authenticated session to the houtini-lm MCP server, corresponding to CVSS PR:L. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.1 (Medium) reflects network exploitability with low-privilege authentication required (AV:N/PR:L), passive user interaction (UI:P), and low confidentiality impact (VC:L) with no integrity or availability effect. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply commit 35d97bca0531894da36a85aedb95312da1bd5b7a (https://github.com/houtini-ai/houtini-lm/commit/35d97bca0531894da36a85aedb95312da1bd5b7a) or merge PR #11 (https://github.com/houtini-ai/houtini-lm/pull/11) and rebuild from source; a patched npm release version has not been independently confirmed, so pulling from the fixed commit and building locally is the verified remediation path. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
