{"id":"CVE-2024-8238","summary":"Unrestricted Code Execution in aimhubio/aim","details":"In version 3.22.0 of aimhubio/aim, the AimQL query language uses an outdated version of the safer_getattr() function from RestrictedPython. This version does not protect against the str.format_map() method, allowing an attacker to leak server-side secrets or potentially gain unrestricted code execution. The vulnerability arises because str.format_map() can read arbitrary attributes of Python objects, enabling attackers to access sensitive variables such as os.environ. If an attacker can write files to a known location on the Aim server, they can use str.format_map() to load a malicious .dll/.so file into the Python interpreter, leading to unrestricted code execution.","aliases":["GHSA-r229-5wgf-f28g","PYSEC-2026-1094"],"modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:19.918702491Z","published":"2025-03-20T10:11:09.622Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"@huntr_ai","cwe_ids":["CWE-1336"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/8xxx/CVE-2024-8238.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://huntr.com/bounties/4e140ef9-f6d1-4e68-a44c-3b9e856924d3"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/8xxx/CVE-2024-8238.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-8238"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/aimhubio/aim","events":[{"introduced":"88ac143708fad8737094b74e9e5b25689d18f1a6"},{"last_affected":"88ac143708fad8737094b74e9e5b25689d18f1a6"}],"database_specific":{"source":"CPE_STRING","cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:aimstack:aim:3.22.0:*:*:*:*:python:*:*","extracted_events":[{"introduced":"3.22.0"},{"last_affected":"3.22.0"}]}}],"versions":["3.22.0","v3.22.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2024-8238.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"}]}
