Parisneo

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** parisneo/lollms versions prior to 9.6 **Description** A path traversal vulnerability exists in the parisneo/lollms application, specifically within the `sanitize path from endpoint` and `sanitize path` functions in `lollms corelollmssecurity.py`. This vulnerability allows for arbitrary file reading when the application is running on Windows. The issue arises due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input, enabling attackers to bypass the path traversal protection mechanisms by crafting malicious input. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive files, information disclosure, and potentially a denial of service (DoS) condition by including numerous large or resource-intensive files. **Recommendations** As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `sanitize path from endpoint` and `sanitize path` functions in `lollms corelollmssecurity.py` until a patch is available. Update to version 9.6 or later to resolve the issue.
