CVE-2024-8238 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for aim.
Overview
aim is a super-easy way to record, search and compare AI experiments.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Access Control Bypass due to the use of an outdated safer_getattr function from RestrictedPython which fails to block the str.format_map method. An attacker can leak server-side secrets or execute arbitrary code by exploiting the ability of str.format_map to read arbitrary attributes of Python objects, thus accessing sensitive variables such as os.environ.
Note: This is only exploitable if an attacker can write files to a known location on the Aim server.
