Lollms CVEs & Vulnerabilities

A Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in the `from_dict` method of the `AppLollmsMessage` class in parisneo/lollms prior to version 2.2.0. The vulnerability arises from the lack of sanitization or HTML encoding of the `content` field when deserializing user-provided data. This allows an attacker to inject malicious HTML or JavaScript payloads, which can be executed in the context of another user's browser. Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to account takeover, session hijacking, or wormable attacks.

A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in the social feature of parisneo/lollms, affecting the latest version prior to 2.2.0. The vulnerability exists in the `create_post` function within `backend/routers/social/__init__.py`, where user-provided content is directly assigned to the `DBPost` model without sanitization. This allows attackers to inject and store malicious JavaScript, which is executed in the browsers of users viewing the Home Feed, including administrators. This can lead to account takeover, session hijacking, and wormable attacks. The issue is resolved in version 2.2.0.

A critical security vulnerability in parisneo/lollms versions up to 2.2.0 allows any authenticated user to accept or reject friend requests belonging to other users. The `respond_request()` function in `backend/routers/friends.py` does not implement proper authorization checks, enabling Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) attacks. Specifically, the `/api/friends/requests/{friendship_id}` endpoint fails to verify whether the authenticated user is part of the friendship or the intended recipient of the request. This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access, privacy violations, and potential social engineering attacks. The issue has been addressed in version 2.2.0.

A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in parisneo/lollms versions prior to 2.2.0, specifically in the `/api/files/export-content` endpoint. The `_download_image_to_temp()` function in `backend/routers/files.py` fails to validate user-controlled URLs, allowing attackers to make arbitrary HTTP requests to internal services and cloud metadata endpoints. This vulnerability can lead to internal network access, cloud metadata access, information disclosure, port scanning, and potentially remote code execution.

A vulnerability in parisneo/lollms, up to and including version 2.2.0, allows unauthenticated users to upload and process files through the `/api/files/extract-text` endpoint. This endpoint does not enforce authentication, unlike other file-related endpoints, and lacks the `Depends(get_current_active_user)` dependency. This issue can lead to denial of service (DoS) through resource exhaustion, information disclosure, and violation of the application's documented security policies.
