CVE-2024-5980

Advisory

A vulnerability in the /v1/runs API endpoint of lightning-ai/pytorch-lightning affected versions allows attackers to exploit path traversal when extracting tar.gz files. When LightningApp is running with the plugin_server, attackers can deploy malicious tar.gz plugins that embed arbitrary files with path traversal vulnerabilities. This can result in arbitrary files being written to any directory in the victim's local file system, potentially leading to remote code execution.
