Llamaindex: >> Llamaindex >> 0.4.26 Security Vulnerabilities
A vulnerability in the ObsidianReader class of the run-llama/llama_index repository, specifically in version 0.12.27, allows for hardlink-based path traversal. This flaw permits attackers to bypass path restrictions and access sensitive system files, such as /etc/passwd, by exploiting hardlinks. The vulnerability arises from inadequate handling of hardlinks in the load_data() method, where the security checks fail to differentiate between real files and hardlinks. This issue is resolved in version 0.5.2.

A vulnerability in the ArxivReader class of the run-llama/llama_index repository, versions up to v0.12.22.post1, allows for MD5 hash collisions when generating filenames for downloaded papers. This can lead to data loss as papers with identical titles but different contents may overwrite each other, preventing some papers from being processed for AI model training. The issue is resolved in version 0.12.28.

A vulnerability in the `KnowledgeBaseWebReader` class of the run-llama/llama_index repository, version latest, allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by controlling a URL variable to contain the root URL. This leads to infinite recursive calls to the `get_article_urls` method, exhausting system resources and potentially crashing the application.
