{"id":"PYSEC-2026-258","summary":"Aim  path traversal in LockManager.release_locks","details":"A vulnerability in the `LockManager.release_locks` function in aimhubio/aim (commit bb76afe) allows for arbitrary file deletion through relative path traversal. The `run_hash` parameter, which is user-controllable, is concatenated without normalization as part of a path used to specify file deletion. This vulnerability is exposed through the `Repo._close_run()` method, which is accessible via the tracking server instruction API. As a result, an attacker can exploit this to delete any arbitrary file on the machine running the tracking server.","aliases":["CVE-2024-8769","GHSA-4qcx-jx49-6qrh"],"modified":"2026-07-01T20:22:47.672031Z","published":"2026-06-29T11:50:34.376380Z","references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-8769"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/aimhubio/aim"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/aimhubio/aim/blob/bb76afe6e9a54364f322520cc4fea2679238f904/aim/sdk/lock_manager.py#L140"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://huntr.com/bounties/59d3472f-f581-4beb-a090-afd36a00ecf7"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://pypi.org/project/aim"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-4qcx-jx49-6qrh"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"aim","ecosystem":"PyPI","purl":"pkg:pypi/aim"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"3.15.0"},{"last_affected":"3.27.0"}]}],"versions":["3.15.0","3.15.1","3.15.2","3.16.0","3.16.1","3.16.2","3.17.0","3.17.1","3.17.2","3.17.3","3.17.4","3.17.5","3.17.5rc1","3.17.5rc2","3.17.5rc3","3.17.5rc4","3.18.0","3.18.0.dev2","3.18.0.dev3","3.18.0.dev4","3.18.0.dev5","3.18.1","3.19.0","3.19.1","3.19.2","3.19.3","3.20.1","3.21.0","3.22.0","3.23.0","3.24.0","3.25.0","3.25.1","3.26.0.dev1","3.26.1","3.27.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/pypa/advisory-database/blob/main/vulns/aim/PYSEC-2026-258.yaml"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H"}]}
