Title
Chainlit through 2.12.0 Path Traversal via socket.io sessionId
Summary
Chainlit through 2.12.0 fails to validate the client-supplied socket.io sessionId parameter, allowing unauthenticated attackers to traverse filesystem paths by injecting absolute or relative path sequences. Attackers can craft malicious sessionId values that escape the upload directory and recursively delete arbitrary directories accessible to the service process.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
