AI-suggested

  1. Immediately update RAGFlow to the latest patched version that includes the fix from commit 64c75d558e4a17a4a48953b4c201526431d8338f or later.
  2. Implement strict validation and sanitization of all filenames within ZIP archives before extraction, ensuring no path traversal sequences are allowed.
  3. Restrict the mineru_server_url or any external ZIP sources to trusted and authenticated endpoints only.
  4. Employ application-layer sandboxing or containerization for ZIP extraction processes to limit filesystem access and contain potential damage.
  5. Monitor file system changes and audit logs for unusual overwrites or modifications, especially in directories where ZIP contents are extracted.
  6. Use intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) tuned to detect exploitation attempts involving ZIP archive path traversal.
  7. Educate development and DevOps teams about secure handling of archive files and incorporate security testing for ZIP extraction routines in CI/CD pipelines.
  8. If immediate patching is not feasible, consider disabling or restricting the MinerU parser’s ZIP extraction functionality temporarily.

Description

CVE-2026-24770 is a critical path traversal vulnerability in the MinerU parser component of the open-source RAG engine, RAGFlow (version 0.23.1 and earlier). The vulnerability, known as a 'Zip Slip', allows an attacker to craft a malicious ZIP archive that, when extracted by the vulnerable MinerUParser, can overwrite arbitrary files on the server. This can lead to remote code execution without requiring authentication or user interaction. The root cause is improper sanitization of filenames during ZIP extraction in the _extract_zip_no_root method. A patch has been committed to address this issue. Given its critical CVSS score of 9.8, exploitation could severely impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability of affected systems. European organizations using RAGFlow should urgently apply the fix and restrict ZIP file sources to trusted origins.
