AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability CVE-2025-45691 affects Exploding Gradients RAGAS versions 0.2.3 to 0.2.14 in the ImageTextPromptValue class. It is caused by insufficient validation and sanitization of URLs supplied via the retrieved_contexts parameter, which is used for handling multimodal inputs. This leads to an Arbitrary File Read condition, classified under CWE-22 (Path Traversal) and CWE-918 (Improper Control of Dynamically-Managed Code Resources). The issue allows remote attackers to read sensitive files without privileges, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). The Red Hat advisory linked does not provide explicit patch or remediation details.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to read arbitrary files on the affected system, potentially exposing sensitive information. The confidentiality impact is high, while integrity and availability are not affected. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. The Red Hat advisory linked does not specify an official fix or temporary workaround. Users should monitor the vendor advisory for updates and apply any forthcoming patches promptly. Until a fix is available, restricting access to the affected application and validating inputs externally may reduce exposure.
