How to Fix CVE-2024-10902

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Dbgpt dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

dbgpt fixed: Latest secure release 
pip install dbgpt>=Latest secure release
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show dbgpt

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-10902, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show dbgpt

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Dbgpt in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show dbgpt command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-73: External Control of File Name or Path, where the product allows user input to control or influence paths or file names that are used in filesystem operations. In Dbgpt, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

In eosphoros-ai/db-gpt version v0.6.0, the web API `POST /v1/personal/agent/upload` is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload with Path Traversal. This vulnerability allows unauthorized attackers to upload arbitrary files to the victim's file system at any location. The impact of this vulnerability includes the potential for remote code execution (RCE) by writing malicious files, such as a malicious `__init__.py` in the Python's `/site-packages/` directory.
