Description

Streamlit directory traversal vulnerability (CVE-2022-35918)

Details

Streamlit is a data oriented application development framework for python. Users hosting Streamlit app(s) that use custom components are vulnerable to a directory traversal attack that could leak data from their web server file-system such as: server logs, world readable files, and potentially other sensitive information. An attacker can craft a malicious URL with file paths and the streamlit server would process that URL and return the contents of that file. This issue has been resolved in version 1.11.1. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.

Reason for inclusion in AVID: The CVE describes a directory traversal vulnerability in Streamlit, a popular framework used in ML/AI dashboards and pipelines. This directly impacts software commonly used to build, deploy, or serve AI applications, i.e., the AI software supply chain. It is a security vulnerability with potential data leakage, and the report provides explicit evidence (CVEID, description, remediation).
