Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Mage AI does not confine the paths accepted by its browser-items API to the project directory. BrowserItemResource in mage_ai/api/resources/BrowserItemResource.py passes a caller-supplied path to the filesystem read and write helpers without calling the containment helper that the sibling FileContentResource and FileResource classes both use, so the resource contains no such call while those two contain several. A user holding the Viewer role, which grants read access within the project and nothing outside it, can therefore read any file the server process can read by supplying an absolute path. The permission model that would otherwise separate roles is not consulted for this route in the default configuration, because the setting that enables it defaults to false. Callers holding the Editor role additionally write through the same unconfined path, though that role is already able to execute code by design, so the boundary crossed by this flaw is the read available to the Viewer role.
AnalysisAI
Path traversal in Mage AI through version 0.9.79 allows any authenticated Viewer-role user to read arbitrary files accessible to the server process by supplying absolute paths to the browser-items API endpoint. The BrowserItemResource class in mage_ai/api/resources/BrowserItemResource.py omits the containment check that sibling classes FileContentResource and FileResource both apply, and the role-based access control enforcement that would otherwise restrict this route is disabled by default. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid session authenticated as a Viewer role or higher - unauthenticated access is not sufficient. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H) correctly reflects a low-complexity, network-reachable read with high confidentiality impact requiring only low privileges. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who holds a Viewer-role account on a shared Mage AI deployment sends a GET request to the browser-items API endpoint with an absolute path such as /etc/shadow or /home/mageuser/.ssh/id_rsa. Because BrowserItemResource does not apply the containment check and RBAC enforcement is off by default, the server reads and returns the requested file without restriction. … |
| Remediation | No confirmed patched release version was identified in the available data; the references point to the vulnerable source at tag 0.9.79 and an open GitHub issue rather than a tagged fix release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
