LOWCVE-2024-47171 is a LOW (CVSS 4.3) path traversal vulnerability (CWE-35: Path Traversal: '.../...//') affecting Agnai libraries in the npm ecosystem. The issue involves agnai vulnerable to relative path traversal in image upload. Remediation is available by upgrading affected packages to version 1.0.330.
CVE-2024-47171 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 4.3
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N).
How to Fix CVE-2024-47171
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Agnai dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
npm install agnai@1.0.330
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls agnai
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2024-47171, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls agnai
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Agnai in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.0.330), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls agnai command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-35: Path Traversal: '.../...//', where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize '.../...//' (doubled triple dot slash) sequences that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory. In Agnai, 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.

"details" : "### Summary\n\nA vulnerability has been discovered in **Agnai** that permits attackers to upload image files at attacker-chosen location on the server. This issue can lead to image file uploads to unauthorized or unintended directories, including overwriting of existing images which may be used for defacement.\n\nThis does not affect:\n\n- agnai.chat\n- installations using S3-compatible storage\n- self-hosting that is not publicly exposed\n\n### CWE-35: Path Traversal\n\nhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/35.html\n\n### CVSS4.0 - 2.3 Low\n\nCVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N\n\n### Details\n\nThis is a path traversal vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request to the `editCharacter` handler https://github.com/agnaistic/agnai/blob/75abbd5b0f5e48ddecc805365cf1574d05ee1ce5/srv/api/character.ts#L140:\n\n```tsx\nPOST /api/character/28cbe508-2fa9-4890-886e-61d73e22006c%2f%2e%2e%2f%2e%2e%2f%2e%2e%2f%2e%2e%2f%2e%2e%2f%61%70%70%2f%64%69%73%74%2f%64%61%6e%79%61%6e%67 HTTP/1.1\n```\n\nThe path traversal character sequence makes it’s way into the `id` variable which is then string interpolated into `filename`. \n\n```jsx\nexport async function entityUpload(kind: string, id: string, attachment?: Attachment) {\n if (!attachment) return\n const filename = `${kind}-${id}`\n return upload(attachment, filename)\n}\n```\n\nhttps://github.com/agnaistic/agnai/blob/75abbd5b0f5e48ddecc805365cf1574d05ee1ce5/srv/api/upload.ts#L55\n\nNo path normalization is conducted nor checked, so attackers can freely manipulate the path which the file is uploaded to.\n\n### Impact\n\nThis vulnerability is classified as a path traversal vulnerability. Attackers can upload image files to arbitrary locations, potentially overwriting critical system image files.\n\n### Credit\nSecurity research in collaboration with Analyst [Danyang Liu (noe223)](https://github.com/noe233) @noe233",
