SCA: security update for lollms (GHSA-p8h7-c8gw-6x8c)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 421377

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- A path traversal vulnerability exists in the parisneo/lollms application, affecting version 9.4.0 and
potentially earlier versions, but fixed in version 5.9.0. The vulnerability arises due to improper
validation of file paths between Windows and Linux environments, allowing attackers to traverse beyond the
intended directory and read any file on the Windows system. Specifically, the application fails to
adequately sanitize file paths containing backslashes (`\`), which can be exploited to access the root
directory and read, or even delete, sensitive files. This issue was discovered in the context of the
`/user_infos` endpoint, where a crafted request using backslashes to reference a file (e.g.,
`\windows\win.ini`) could result in unauthorized file access. The impact of this vulnerability includes
the potential for attackers to access sensitive information such as environment variables, database files,
and configuration files, which could lead to further compromise of the system. (CVE-2024-4881)
