Description Preview

The software gaizhenbiao/chuanhuchatgpt is vulnerable to an unrestricted file upload vulnerability due to insufficient validation of uploaded file types in its `/upload` endpoint. The `handle_file_upload` function does not sanitize or validate the file extension or content type of uploaded files, allowing attackers to upload files with arbitrary extensions, including HTML files containing XSS payloads and Python files. This vulnerability, present in the latest version as of 20240310, could lead to stored XSS attacks and potentially result in remote code execution (RCE) on the server hosting the application.

Overview

The vulnerability exists in the handle_file_upload function of the gaizhenbiao/chuanhuchatgpt software. This function does not properly sanitize or validate the file extension or content type of uploaded files, allowing attackers to upload files with arbitrary extensions. This could lead to stored XSS attacks and potentially result in remote code execution (RCE) on the server hosting the application.

Remediation

The remediation for this vulnerability would be to implement proper validation and sanitization of file types and content types in the handle_file_upload function. This would prevent attackers from uploading files with arbitrary extensions. It is also recommended to update the software to the latest version if a patch has been released by the vendor.
