Description
A flaw was found in the file_type content detector of guardrails-detectors. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to supply an arbitrary XML Schema Definition (XSD) string, which is processed without proper restrictions. This can lead to server-side requests to arbitrary URLs or local file reads, potentially resulting in sensitive information disclosure, such as cloud provider credentials or access to internal network services.

AI Analysis

Impact

Guardrails‑detectors’ file_type content detector processes user‑supplied XML Schema Definition strings without restrictions. Because the schema is parsed and applied against data, a malicious attacker can embed external references or file paths. When processed, the system may perform server‑side HTTP requests to arbitrary URLs or read local files, exposing secrets such as cloud credentials or internal network information. This flaw is catalogued as CWE‑918 and can lead to undisclosed data being exposed through remote file reads or outbound requests, rendering it a high‑severity information‑disclosure vulnerability.

Affected Systems

Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI) is affected. No specific product versions are listed, so any deployment of RHOAI that includes guardrails‑detectors may be vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.3 classifies this flaw as critical. The EPSS score is less than 1%, indicating a low but non‑zero likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the potential for remote SSRF and local file read remains significant. Attackers can target any exposed interface that accepts XML schema definitions, making the risk notable for systems that receive untrusted input.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Red Hat OpenShift AI to the latest release that includes the guardrails‑detectors patch as announced by Red Hat.
  • If upgrading is not immediately feasible, configure the application to reject or whitelist XML schema definitions, allowing only trusted schema sources and blocking remote references.
  • Apply network segmentation or firewall rules to limit outbound traffic from the RHOAI host, reducing the impact of any inadvertent SSRF.
  • Monitor audit logs for unexpected outbound HTTP requests and file accesses to detect potential exploitation.
