Description
A code injection vulnerability in version 0.4.17 or later of the ChromaDB Python project allows an authenticated attacker to run arbitrary code on the server by sending a malicious model repository and trust_remote_code set to true in the /api/v2/tenants/default_tenant/databases/default_database/collections/{collection_id} if they have the UPDATE_COLLECTION permission.
A code injection vulnerability exists in ChromaDB versions 0.4.17 and later. This vulnerability allows authenticated users with UPDATE_COLLECTION permission to execute arbitrary code on the server.
