Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2024-40422 is a path traversal vulnerability in stitionai devika v1 affecting the /api/get-browser-snapshot endpoint. The flaw is caused by insufficient validation or sanitization of the snapshot_path parameter, allowing an attacker to supply directory traversal sequences and cause the application to access files outside the intended directory scope. By manipulating this parameter, an attacker may read sensitive files from the underlying server filesystem, potentially exposing application data, configuration material, or operating system files. The issue affects confidentiality and may also contribute to broader system compromise depending on what files are exposed.

This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-40422, a path traversal vulnerability in StitionAI Devika v1. The exploit is implemented in Python (exploit.py) and targets the '/api/get-browser-snapshot' HTTP endpoint. By sending a crafted GET request with the 'snapshot_path' parameter set to '../../../../../../etc/passwd', the script attempts to read the contents of the /etc/passwd file from the vulnerable server. The script parses and prints user account information from the file. The repository consists of a README.md describing the vulnerability and usage, and a single exploit script. The exploit requires the target to be running the vulnerable Devika v1 software and exposes the relevant API endpoint. No payload customization or post-exploitation features are present, making this a straightforward proof-of-concept for file read via path traversal.
