CVE-2024-3829
CWE-59Published: June 3, 2024· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
qdrant/qdrant version 1.9.0-dev is vulnerable to arbitrary file read and write during the snapshot recovery process. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by manipulating snapshot files to include symlinks, leading to arbitrary file read by adding a symlink that points to a desired file on the filesystem and arbitrary file write by including a symlink and a payload file in the snapshot's directory structure. This vulnerability allows for the reading and writing of arbitrary files on the server, which could potentially lead to a full takeover of the system. The issue is fixed in version v1.9.0.
Risk Analysis
Qdrant is vulnerable to arbitrary file read and write during snapshot recovery due to improper handling of symlinks. This critical flaw allows an attacker to manipulate the filesystem, potentially leading to a full system takeover.
The vulnerability is remotely exploitable with low complexity, but there is no known public exploit and it is not in the KEV.
Upgrade to Qdrant version v1.9.0 or later to patch the snapshot recovery process.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2024-3829 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), with a CVSS base score of 9.1.
