Arduino · Arduino Create Agent · CVE-2023-43803
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Arduino Create Agent versions prior to 1.3.3
**Description**
The issue affects the endpoint "/v2/pkgs/tools/installed" and the way it handles plugin names supplied as user input. A user who has the ability to perform HTTP requests to the localhost interface, or is able to bypass the CORS configuration, can delete arbitrary files or folders belonging to the user that runs the Arduino Create Agent via a crafted HTTP POST request.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 1.3.3, upgrade to version 1.3.3 to address the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "/v2/pkgs/tools/installed" endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, ensure that the CORS configuration is properly set up to prevent unauthorized access.
