{"id":"CVE-2024-8238","aliases":["GHSA-r229-5wgf-f28g","PYSEC-2026-1094"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2024-8238","summary":"Unrestricted Code Execution in aimhubio/aim","details":"In version 3.22.0 of aimhubio/aim, the AimQL query language uses an outdated version of the safer_getattr() function from RestrictedPython. This version does not protect against the str.format_map() method, allowing an attacker to leak server-side secrets or potentially gain unrestricted code execution. The vulnerability arises because str.format_map() can read arbitrary attributes of Python objects, enabling attackers to access sensitive variables such as os.environ. If an attacker can write files to a known location on the Aim server, they can use str.format_map() to load a malicious .dll/.so file into the Python interpreter, leading to unrestricted code execution.","published":"2025-03-20T10:11:09.622Z","modified":"2026-07-15T01:49:14.197730527Z","cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"aim","fixedVersion":null}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://huntr.com/bounties/4e140ef9-f6d1-4e68-a44c-3b9e856924d3"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/8xxx/CVE-2024-8238.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-8238"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-07-15T01:49:14.197730527Z"}}
