mintplex-labs/anything-llm: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption
CVE-2024-3569 is a high-severity uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in mintplex-labs/anything-llm from Mintplex-labs, with a CVSS 3.0 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 1.0.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating mintplex-labs/anything-llm to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.78% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 56% of scored CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update mintplex-labs/anything-llm to 1.0.0 or a later version.
- Update Anythingllm to 1.0.0 or a later version.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the mintplex-labs/anything-llm repository when the application is running in 'just me' mode with a password. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by making a request to the endpoint using the [validatedRequest] middleware with a specially crafted 'Authorization:' header. This vulnerability leads to uncontrolled resource consumption, causing a DoS condition.
