CVE-2024-11037
A path traversal vulnerability exists in binary-husky/gpt_academic at commit 679352d, which allows an attacker to bypass the blocked_paths protection and read the config.py file containing sensitive information such as the OpenAI API key.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.03%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
