DescriptionCVE.org

Pathway through 0.31.1, fixed in commit d09722e, document store applies a caller-supplied glob pattern to indexed document paths using a hand-written recursive matcher that branches two ways on each token without memoization, giving exponential worst-case complexity. The filepath_globpattern value is taken from the body of the unauthenticated HTTP endpoints /v1/retrieve, /v1/inputs and /v2/answer and compiled into a filter evaluated once per indexed document, with no length or -count limit. A remote unauthenticated attacker can submit a short pattern containing many ** tokens to consume CPU for tens of seconds per request, and a small number of requests denies service.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in Pathway data-processing framework (versions through 0.31.1) lets a remote unauthenticated attacker exhaust CPU by submitting a short glob pattern packed with many tokens to the document store's /v1/retrieve, /v1/inputs and /v2/answer endpoints. The hand-written recursive matcher branches exponentially on each without memoization, so a handful of crafted requests can stall the service for tens of seconds each and deny availability. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the Pathway document store's HTTP API - specifically the /v1/retrieve, /v1/inputs or /v2/answer endpoints - is network-reachable by the attacker; no authentication is needed (PR:N) and the endpoints accept an attacker-controlled filepath_globpattern in the request body with no length or **-count limit. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine, easily-triggered availability risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who can reach an exposed Pathway document store sends a small POST to /v1/retrieve (or /v1/inputs or /v2/answer) whose body sets filepath_globpattern to a short string containing many ** tokens. The custom recursive matcher evaluates this pattern against every indexed document, burning tens of seconds of CPU per request; a few concurrent requests saturate the workers and deny service to legitimate users. …
Remediation Upstream fix available (commit d09722e via PR #250); a released patched version number is not independently confirmed from the provided data, so upgrade to the first tagged Pathway release that includes commit d09722eef03fd94bba701836eb4c7fbfa3d3b88e (verify against the repository beyond 0.31.1). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Identify all Pathway deployments (versions through 0.31.1), monitor /v1/retrieve, /v1/inputs, and /v2/answer endpoints for suspicious glob pattern requests. …
