CVE-2024-48918
Improper Input Validation (CWE-20)
Summary
RDS Light, a simplified version of the Reflective Dialogue System (RDS), contains a vulnerability in versions prior to 1.1.0 due to a lack of input validation within the user input handling code in the main module (`main.py`). This vulnerability leaves the framework open to injection attacks and potential memory tampering.
Impact
Any user or external actor providing input to the system could exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious commands, corrupt stored data, or affect API calls. This is particularly critical for users employing RDS AI in production environments where it interacts with sensitive systems, performs dynamic memory caching, or retrieves user-specific data for analysis. Impacted areas include developers using the RDS AI system as a backend for AI-driven applications and systems running RDS AI that may be exposed to untrusted environments or receive unverified user inputs. The vulnerability has a CVSS v4 base score of 8.1 (High severity), with high impact on system confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Exploitation
There is no evidence that a public proof-of-concept exists. There is no evidence of proof of exploitation at the moment.
Patch
The vulnerability has been patched in version 1.1.0 of the RDS AI framework. All user inputs are now sanitized and validated against a set of rules designed to mitigate malicious content. Users should upgrade to version 1.1.0 or higher and ensure all dependencies are updated to their latest versions.
Mitigation
For users unable to upgrade to the patched version, a workaround can be implemented. The user should implement custom validation checks for user inputs to filter out unsafe characters and patterns (e.g., SQL injection attempts, script injections) and limit or remove features that allow user input until the system can be patched.
