AIL Framework vulnerabilities

The AIL framework contains a path traversal vulnerability in the /objects/item/diff endpoint. This allows an authenticated AIL user to craft malicious item identifiers that may lead to unauthorized disclosure of local files.

AIL Framework contains a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in its crawler submission functionality. A low-privileged authenticated user can submit an arbitrary URL for crawling without adequate validation of the destination host. The crawler can be instructed to make requests to internal addresses, including loopback, private networks, and cloud metadata services.

AIL Framework contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the crawler domain view. Crawled URLs were embedded directly into the JavaScript onclick handler without proper encoding. An attacker can inject malicious JavaScript into a stored URL, which executes in the analyst's browser when the screenshot icon is clicked.

Reflected XSS vulnerability in AIL Framework at the /tag/add_tags endpoint. The error value is returned without proper encoding, allowing arbitrary HTML or JavaScript execution in the victim's browser.

AIL Framework has a path traversal vulnerability in its PDF object handling. The PDF.get_filepath() function constructs a file path by joining the configured PDF storage directory with a PDF object identifier without verifying the resolved path stays within the intended PDF_FOLDER directory. An authenticated attacker can use crafted identifiers with relative traversal sequences or absolute path components to open files outside the PDF directory, potentially disclosing sensitive data.

A path traversal vulnerability exists in AIL Framework before the release containing commit 0041456af25da0cdea1c1c4624e46baff2731d8f. An authenticated AIL user can supply crafted object identifiers through the investigation workflow to access files outside the intended directories.

AIL framework is an open-source platform to collect, crawl, process and analyse unstructured data. Prior to version 6.8, a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was identified in the modal item preview functionality. When item content longer than 800 characters was processed, attacker-controlled content was returned without an explicit text/plain content type, allowing the browser to interpret the response as active HTML. This could result in execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the context of an authenticated user viewing a crafted item. This vulnerability is fixed in version 6.8.
