CVE-2024-6851: Aim Path Traversal vulnerability

March 20, 2025 (updated March 21, 2025)

In version 3.22.0 of aimhubio/aim, the LocalFileManager._cleanup function in the aim tracking server accepts a user-specified glob-pattern for deleting files. The function does not verify that the matched files are within the directory managed by LocalFileManager, allowing a maliciously crafted glob-pattern to lead to arbitrary file deletion.
