Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects PyPI packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

An arbitrary file download vulnerability exists in the rpc_agent_client component of modelscope/agentscope version v0.0.4. This vulnerability allows any user to download any file from the rpc_agent's host by exploiting the download_file method. This can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information, including configuration files, credentials, and potentially system files, which may facilitate further exploitation such as privilege escalation or lateral movement within the network.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for agentscope, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Remediation status

    The records we use list no patched version of agentscope for CVE-2024-8501. Check the maintainer's advisory, and where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range.

  3. Mitigate without a patch

    Close the privilege gap rather than the entry point: audit which accounts, roles and service identities can reach the affected operation, drop the component to the least privilege it actually needs, and review file and directory permissions created by earlier installs — a default left in place is what makes this reachable.
