A vulnerability was detected in PromtEngineer localGPT up to 4d41c7d1713b16b216d8e062e51a5dd88b20b054. Impacted is the function LocalGPTHandler of the file backend/server.py of the component API Endpoint. The manipulation of the argument BaseHTTPRequestHandler results in missing authentication. The attack can be executed remotely. This product implements a rolling release for ongoing delivery, which means version information for affected or updated releases is unavailable. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in PromtEngineer localGPT up to commit 4d41c7d1713b16b216d8e062e51a5dd88b20b054 affects the LocalGPTHandler function in the backend/server.py file. The flaw arises from missing authentication checks due to manipulation of the BaseHTTPRequestHandler argument, enabling remote unauthenticated access to the API endpoint. The rolling release development model means versioning details for affected or fixed releases are unavailable. The vendor has not provided any advisory or patch information.
Potential Impact
An attacker can remotely access the API endpoint without authentication, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data exposure within the localGPT service. The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 (medium severity) reflects the network attack vector, lack of required privileges or user interaction, and low to limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. No known exploits have been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since the vendor has not responded and no patches or workarounds are available, users should monitor official channels for updates. Until a fix is released, restricting network access to the affected API endpoint or deploying compensating controls to limit exposure may reduce risk.
