AI-suggested
Upgrade proma-ai Proma to version 0.19.52 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. The vendor has provided a patch (commit b7bf78ab74b1552c92fc98c7db9a8a8d92c631df) addressing the issue. No other mitigations are indicated or required.
Description
A security vulnerability has been detected in proma-ai Proma up to 0.19.37. Affected is the function resolveTargetPath of the file apps/electron/src/main/lib/file-preview-service.ts of the component File Preview Service. Such manipulation of the argument file_path leads to path traversal. Local access is required to approach this attack. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. Upgrading to version 0.19.52 is able to address this issue. The name of the patch is b7bf78ab74b1552c92fc98c7db9a8a8d92c631df. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component. The PoC's candidateBasePaths parameter name does not match the current IPC API (0.19.52 uses FileAccessOptions with internal getPreviewCandidateBasePaths()). The reporter likely targeted 0.16.3 where the IPC handler accepted raw string[] base paths. The core vulnerability - basename-collision fallback - is independent of the parameter name and is confirmed in source.
Impact
An attacker with local access can exploit this vulnerability to perform path traversal, potentially accessing files outside intended directories. The CVSS 4.0 base score is low (2.4), reflecting limited impact and required local privileges. There is no indication of remote exploitation or privilege escalation beyond local access.
Summary
This vulnerability in proma-ai Proma up to version 0.19.37 allows an attacker with local access to exploit a path traversal flaw in the resolveTargetPath function within the File Preview Service component (apps/electron/src/main/lib/file-preview-service.ts). The flaw arises from improper handling of the file_path argument, enabling directory traversal attacks. The issue was confirmed through public disclosure and proof-of-concept targeting earlier versions such as 0.16.3. The vulnerability is fixed in version 0.19.52 by changes including the patch identified as b7bf78ab74b1552c92fc98c7db9a8a8d92c631df.
