CVE-2024-3829: Arbitrary File Read and Write during Snapshot Recovery in qdrant/qdrant

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 36/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.90% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 59.8% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • Fixed version: qdrant-client (PyPI) 1.9.0.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to qdrant-client (PyPI) 1.9.0 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

qdrant/qdrant version 1.9.0-dev is vulnerable to arbitrary file read and write during the snapshot recovery process. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by manipulating snapshot files to include symlinks, leading to arbitrary file read by adding a symlink that points to a desired file on the filesystem and arbitrary file write by including a symlink and a payload file in the snapshot's directory structure. This vulnerability allows for the reading and writing of arbitrary files on the server, which could potentially lead to a full takeover of the system. The issue is fixed in version v1.9.0.
