CVE-2024-8769

Summary

CVE-2024-8769 is a vulnerability affecting the `LockManager.release_locks` function in the aimhubio/aim library (commit bb76afe). This issue allows for arbitrary file deletion through relative path traversal. The `run_hash` parameter, which is user-controllable, is concatenated without normalization into a file deletion path. This vulnerability can be exploited via the `Repo._close_run()` method, which is accessible through the tracking server instruction API. As a result, an attacker can delete any arbitrary file on the machine running the tracking server.
