pytorch-lightning vulnerable to Arbitrary File Write via /v1/runs API endpoint

Critical severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jun 27, 2024 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Jun 28, 2024

Package

pip lightning (pip)

Affected versions

<= 2.3.1

Description

A vulnerability in the /v1/runs API endpoint of lightning-ai/pytorch-lightning v2.2.4 allows attackers to exploit path traversal when extracting tar.gz files. When the LightningApp is running with the plugin_server, attackers can deploy malicious tar.gz plugins that embed arbitrary files with path traversal vulnerabilities. This can result in arbitrary files being written to any directory in the victim’s local file system, potentially leading to remote code execution.
