CVE-2024-8238 Information

Description

In version 3.22.0 of aimhubio/aim the AimQL query language uses an outdated version of the safer_getattr() function from RestrictedPython. This version does not protect against the str.format_map() method allowing an attacker to leak server-side secrets or potentially gain unrestricted code execution. The vulnerability arises because str.format_map() can read arbitrary attributes of Python objects enabling attackers to access sensitive variables such as os.environ. If an attacker can write files to a known location on the Aim server they can use str.format_map() to load a malicious .dll/.so file into the Python interpreter leading to unrestricted code execution.
