Summary

DeepInfer through 0.1.0 contains a path traversal flaw (CWE-22) in its unauthenticated /profile endpoint, where the output_dir parameter is not limited to an allowed directory. A remote attacker can create arbitrary directories and write chrome trace files to exhaust disk space or inodes, and can use error messages to learn about the filesystem. Cross-site GET requests from an operator's browser can also trigger these actions.

Description from the CNA

DeepInfer through 0.1.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the unauthenticated /profile endpoint that allows remote attackers to create arbitrary directories via the output_dir parameter. Attackers, including cross-site GET requests from an operator's browser, can write chrome trace files to exhaust disk or inodes and use error messages as a filesystem oracle.
