CVE-2024-8018 Details
Description
A vulnerability in imartinez/privategpt version 0.5.0 allows for a Denial of Service (DOS) attack. When uploading a file, if an attacker appends a large number of characters to the end of a multipart boundary, the system will continuously process these characters, rendering privateGPT inaccessible. This uncontrolled resource consumption can lead to prolonged unavailability of the service, disrupting operations and causing potential data inaccessibility and loss of productivity.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in privategpt version 0.5.0. The issue arises when a file is uploaded and a large number of characters are appended to the end of the multipart boundary. This causes the system to continuously process the excess characters, leading to prolonged unavailability of the service. The excessive resource consumption can disrupt operations, cause data inaccessibility, and result in a loss of productivity. In testing, adding nearly 10 million characters rendered privategpt inaccessible for several hours.
