Arbitrary File Write via /v1/runs API endpoint in lightning-ai/pytorch-lightning
CVE-2024-5980
9.8CRITICAL
What is CVE-2024-5980?
A vulnerability in the /v1/runs API endpoint of Lightning-AI's PyTorch Lightning version 2.2.4 facilitates a path traversal attack when handling tar.gz files. This issue arises when the LightningApp operates with the plugin_server enabled, allowing attackers to deploy malicious tar.gz plugins that can manipulate filesystem traversal. This exploitation can enable unauthorized writing of files across any directory within the local filesystem of the affected system, potentially leading to remote code execution and significant security risks.
