- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:N

- Published: 2024-04-10 · Updated: 2024-08-01

## Affected

- mintplex-labs mintplex-labs/anything-llm: version range not reported

## Description

A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the chat functionality of the mintplex-labs/anything-llm repository, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of a user's session. By manipulating the ChatBot responses, an attacker can inject malicious scripts to perform actions on behalf of the user, such as creating a new admin account or changing the user's password, leading to a complete takeover of the AnythingLLM application. The vulnerability stems from the improper sanitization of user and ChatBot input, specifically through the use of `dangerouslySetInnerHTML`. Successful exploitation requires convincing an admin to add a malicious LocalAI ChatBot to their AnythingLLM instance.
