Until a fix is available, restrict access to the /profile endpoint and monitor for unusual directory creation or disk usage patterns.
Description
DeepInfer versions up to 0.1.0 have a path traversal vulnerability in the unauthenticated /profile endpoint. This flaw allows remote attackers to create arbitrary directories via the output_dir parameter. Exploitation can lead to writing chrome trace files that exhaust disk space or inodes and can leak filesystem information through error messages.
