A critical security flaw in the llama_cpp_python Python package (CVE-2024-34359, codenamed Llama Drama) allows threat actors to execute arbitrary code, posing a risk to data and operations. Another high-severity flaw in Mozilla’s PDF.js library permits JavaScript execution in the PDF.js context. Both issues have been addressed in recent software updates.
Key Takeaways from the Meeting Notes:
1. Llama Drama Security Flaw:
– CVE-2024-34359 (CVSS score: 9.7) affecting the llama_cpp_python Python package has been identified.
– Exploitation of the flaw could lead to arbitrary code execution, posing risks such as data compromise and system disruption.
– The flaw is associated with the misuse of the Jinja2 template engine, allowing for server-side template injection and remote code execution.
– Version 0.2.72 of the package has been released to address the vulnerability.
2. PDF.js Code Execution Flaw:
– A high-severity flaw (CVE-2024-4367) has been discovered in Mozilla’s PDF.js JavaScript library, enabling the execution of arbitrary code upon opening a malicious PDF document in the Firefox browser.
– The issue has been resolved in Firefox 126, Firefox ESR 115.11, and Thunderbird 115.11, as well as in the npm module pdfjs-dist version 4.2.67.
3. Mitigation Recommendations:
– Stressed the importance of vigilant security practices in the AI and supply chain security context, following the discovery of the CVE-2024-34359 vulnerability in llama_cpp_python.
– Advised checking the node_modules folder for files called pdf.js to ensure that wrapper libraries like react-pdf have been patched to address the PDF.js flaw.
