Binary-Husky: >> Gpt Academic Security Vulnerabilities
A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in binary-husky/gpt_academic version git 310122f. The application has a functionality to download papers from arxiv.org, but the URL validation is incomplete. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to make the application access any URL, including internal services, and read the response. This can be used to access data that are only accessible from the server, such as AWS metadata credentials, and can escalate local exploits to network-based attacks.

A path traversal vulnerability exists in binary-husky/gpt_academic at commit 679352d, which allows an attacker to bypass the blocked_paths protection and read the config.py file containing sensitive information such as the OpenAI API key. This vulnerability is exploitable on Windows operating systems by accessing a specific URL that includes the absolute path of the project.

A pickle deserialization vulnerability exists in the Latex English error correction plug-in function of binary-husky/gpt_academic versions up to and including 3.83. This vulnerability allows attackers to achieve remote command execution by deserializing untrusted data. The issue arises from the inclusion of numpy in the deserialization whitelist, which can be exploited by constructing a malicious compressed package containing a merge_result.pkl file and a merge_proofread_en.tex file. The vulnerability is fixed in commit 91f5e6b.

In binary-husky/gpt_academic version <= 3.83, the plugin `CodeInterpreter` is vulnerable to code injection caused by prompt injection. The root cause is the execution of user-provided prompts that generate untrusted code without a sandbox, allowing the execution of parts of the LLM-generated code. This vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker to achieve remote code execution (RCE) on the application backend server, potentially gaining full control of the server.

In the `manim` plugin of binary-husky/gpt_academic, versions prior to the fix, a vulnerability exists due to improper handling of user-provided prompts. The root cause is the execution of untrusted code generated by the LLM without a proper sandbox. This allows an attacker to perform remote code execution (RCE) on the app backend server by injecting malicious code through the prompt.

GPT Academy version 3.83 in the binary-husky/gpt_academic repository is vulnerable to Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking (CSWSH). This vulnerability allows an attacker to hijack an existing WebSocket connection between the victim's browser and the server, enabling unauthorized actions such as deleting conversation history without the victim's consent. The issue arises due to insufficient WebSocket authentication and lack of origin validation.

GPT Academic version 3.83 is vulnerable to a Local File Read (LFI) vulnerability through its HotReload function. This function can download and extract tar.gz files from arxiv.org. Despite implementing protections against path traversal, the application overlooks the Tarslip triggered by symlinks. This oversight allows attackers to read arbitrary local files from the victim server.

GPT Academic version 3.83 is vulnerable to a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability through its HotReload plugin function, which calls the crazy_utils.get_files_from_everything() API without proper sanitization. This allows attackers to exploit the vulnerability to abuse the victim GPT Academic's Gradio Web server's credentials to access unauthorized web resources.

In version 3.83 of binary-husky/gpt_academic, a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in the Markdown_Translate.get_files_from_everything() API. This vulnerability is exploited through the HotReload(Markdown翻译中) plugin function, which allows downloading arbitrary web hosts by only checking if the link starts with 'http'. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to abuse the victim GPT Academic's Gradio Web server's credentials to access unauthorized web resources.

A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the file upload feature of binary-husky/gpt_academic version 3.83. The vulnerability is due to improper handling of form-data with a large filename in the file upload request. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a payload with an excessively large filename, causing the server to become overwhelmed and unavailable for legitimate users.
