CVE-2024-3570 Information

Description

A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the chat functionality of the mintplex-labs/anything-llm repository allowing attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of a user’s session. By manipulating the ChatBot responses an attacker can inject malicious scripts to perform actions on behalf of the user such as creating a new admin account or changing the user’s password leading to a complete takeover of the AnythingLLM application. The vulnerability stems from the improper sanitization of user and ChatBot input specifically through the use of dangerouslySetInnerHTML. Successful exploitation requires convincing an admin to add a malicious LocalAI ChatBot to their AnythingLLM instance.
