Advisories for Pypi/Mindsdb package

There is a path traversal vulnerability in Mindsdb's /api/files interface, which an authenticated attacker can exploit to achieve remote command execution.

A security vulnerability has been detected in MindsDB up to 25.14.1. This vulnerability affects the function clear_filename of the file mindsdb/utilities/security.py of the component File Upload. Such manipulation leads to server-side request forgery. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used.

BlueRock discovered an unauthenticated path traversal in the file upload API lets any caller read arbitrary files from the server filesystem and move them into MindsDB’s storage, exposing sensitive data.

An arbitrary code execution vulnerability exists in versions 23.11.4.2 up to 24.7.4.1 of the MindsDB platform, when one of several integrations is installed on the server. If a specially crafted ‘UPDATE’ query containing Python code is run against a database created with the specified integration engine, the code will be passed to an eval function and executed on the server.

An arbitrary code execution vulnerability exists in versions 23.12.4.0 up to 24.7.4.1 of the MindsDB platform, when the ChromaDB integration is installed on the server. If a specially crafted ‘INSERT’ query containing Python code is run against a database created with the ChromaDB engine, the code will be passed to an eval function and executed on the server.

An arbitrary code execution vulnerability exists in versions 23.10.5.0 up to 24.7.4.1 of the MindsDB platform, when the Microsoft SharePoint integration is installed on the server. For databases created with the SharePoint engine, an ‘INSERT’ query can be used for site column creation. If such a query is specially crafted to contain Python code and is run against the database, the code will be passed to an eval function and …

An arbitrary code execution vulnerability exists in versions 23.10.3.0 up to 24.7.4.1 of the MindsDB platform, when the Weaviate integration is installed on the server. If a specially crafted ‘SELECT WHERE’ clause containing Python code is run against a database created with the Weaviate engine, the code will be passed to an eval function and executed on the server.

An arbitrary code execution vulnerability exists in versions 23.10.5.0 up to 24.7.4.1 of the MindsDB platform, when the Microsoft SharePoint integration is installed on the server. For databases created with the SharePoint engine, an ‘INSERT’ query can be used for list item creation. If such a query is specially crafted to contain Python code and is run against the database, the code will be passed to an eval function and …

Deserialization of untrusted data can occur in versions 23.10.2.0 and newer of the MindsDB platform, enabling a maliciously uploaded ‘inhouse’ model to run arbitrary code on the server when using ‘finetune’ on it.

Deserialization of untrusted data can occur in versions 23.10.2.0 and newer of the MindsDB platform, enabling a maliciously uploaded ‘inhouse’ model to run arbitrary code on the server when used for a prediction.

Deserialization of untrusted data can occur in versions 23.10.3.0 and newer of the MindsDB platform, enabling a maliciously uploaded ‘inhouse’ model to run arbitrary code on the server when a ‘describe’ query is run on it.

Deserialization of untrusted data can occur in versions 23.3.2.0 and newer of the MindsDB platform, enabling a maliciously uploaded model to run arbitrary code on the server when interacted with.

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in all versions of the MindsDB platform, enabling the execution of a JavaScript payload whenever a user enumerates an ML Engine, database, project, or dataset containing arbitrary JavaScript code within the web UI.

DNS rebinding is a method of manipulating resolution of domain names to let the initial DNS query hits an address and the second hits another one. For instance the host make-190.119.176.200-rebind-127.0.0.1-rr.1u.ms would be initially resolved to 190.119.176.200 and the next DNS issue to 127.0.0.1. Please notice the following in the latest codebase: def is_private_url(url: str): """ Raises exception if url is private :param url: url to check """ hostname = …

When a user uploads a csv file that contains an javascript payload a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) is triggered when the file is viewed. This is true for both cloud version and OSS version.

Issue: Arbitrary file write in file.py (GHSL-2023-183)

This advisory duplicates another.

The put method in mindsdb/mindsdb/api/http/namespaces/file.py does not validate the user-controlled URL in the source variable and uses it to create arbitrary requests on line 115, which allows Server-side request forgery (SSRF). This issue may lead to Information Disclosure. The SSRF allows for forging arbitrary network requests from the MindsDB server. It can be used to scan nodes in internal networks for open ports that may not be accessible externally, as …

The put method in mindsdb/mindsdb/api/http/namespaces/file.py does not validate the user-controlled name value, which is used in a temporary file name, which is afterwards opened for writing on lines 122-125, which leads to path injection. This issue may lead to arbitrary file write. This vulnerability allows for writing files anywhere on the server that the filesystem permissions that the running server has access to.

MindsDB's AI Virtual Database allows developers to connect any AI/ML model to any datasource. Prior to version 23.7.4.0, a call to requests with verify=False disables SSL certificate checks. This rule enforces always verifying SSL certificates for methods in the Requests library. In version 23.7.4.0, certificates are validated by default, which is the desired behavior.

An unsafe extraction is being performed using tarfile.extractall() from a remotely retrieved tarball. Which may lead to the writing of the extracted files to an unintended location. Sometimes, the vulnerability is called a TarSlip or a ZipSlip variant.
