CVE-2024-8537
CRITICALCVE-2024-8537 is a critical-severity (CVSS 9.1) CWE-29 vulnerability in modelscope agentscope. O3 Security detects and blocks CVE-2024-8537 exploitation at runtime via eBPF exploit-chain detection and L7 egress monitoring, even on unpatched systems.

Description
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the modelscope/agentscope application, affecting all versions. The vulnerability is present in the /delete-workflow endpoint, allowing an attacker to delete arbitrary files from the filesystem. This issue arises due to improper input validation, enabling the attacker to manipulate file paths and delete sensitive files outside of the intended directory.
Affected Products
agentscopemodelscopeDetection & mitigation playbook
Vendor / applianceDetect
Inventory every modelscope agentscope deployment and check each version against the affected-products list above. Because the exploit targets the running system rather than your application code, also watch for exploitation at the network and runtime layer — O3 flags the exploit behaviour from runtime telemetry and egress traffic even before a vulnerable build is confirmed.
Remediation status
No patch has shipped for CVE-2024-8537 yet — track the modelscope agentscope advisory for a fixed release and apply the workarounds below in the meantime.
Mitigate without a patch
Cut exposure now: restrict the management/admin interface to trusted networks, segment the device, and apply the vendor's recommended configuration mitigations and any WAF/IPS signature. O3's runtime protection blocks the exploit chain at execution, holding the line on unpatched or end-of-life systems until you can patch.
How O3 protects you
O3 detects and blocks CVE-2024-8537 exploitation at runtime: eBPF exploit-chain detection, plus L7 egress monitoring that catches the post-exploitation callback and severs the attacker's outbound channel.
Tailored to CVE-2024-8537. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2024-8537 being exploited in your environment?
O3's eBPF runtime sensors and L7 egress monitoring detect and block the CVE-2024-8537 exploit chain at execution — protecting unpatched and end-of-life systems until the vendor patch is applied.
