CVE-2024-53844 Information

Description

E.D.D.I (Enhanced Dialog Driven Interface) is a middleware to connect and manage LLM API bots. A path traversal vulnerability exists in the backup export functionality of EDDI as implemented in RestExportService.java. This vulnerability allows an attacker to access sensitive files on the server by manipulating the botFilename parameter in requests. The application fails to sanitize user input enabling malicious inputs such as ..%2f..%2fetc%2fpasswd to access arbitrary files. However the severity of this vulnerability is significantly limited because EDDI typically runs within a Docker container which provides additional layers of isolation and restricted permissions. As a result while this vulnerability exposes files within the container it does not inherently threaten the underlying host system or other containers. A patch is required to sanitize and validate the botFilename input parameter. Users should ensure they are using version 5.4 which contains this patdch. For temporary mitigation access to the vulnerable endpoint should be restricted through firewall rules or authentication mechanisms.
