# Aim Web API vulnerable to Remote Code Execution

The Aim experiment tracker's web API endpoint /api/runs/search/run/ evaluates the query parameter as code, so a remote request can execute arbitrary commands on the server. The advisory describes this as full system compromise, with versions 3.0.0 through 3.25.0 affected.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## Affected

- pypi:aim affected >= 3.0.0, <= 3.25.0 fixed ?
- vendor:aimstack aim affected >= 3.0.0 fixed ?

## How to check

- Run `pip show aim` and compare the installed version against `3.25.0`
- Check whether the Aim web server is reachable from untrusted networks, for example on the port listed in your deployment config
- Search web server or access logs for requests to `/api/runs/search/run/`

## Fix

- Upgrade the `aim` package to a version above `3.25.0` (fixed version not confirmed in sources; check the GHSA advisory)
- Until upgraded, block external access to the Aim web server with a firewall or reverse proxy rule on `/api/runs/search/run/`

## From the sources

A critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability was identified in the aimhubio/aim project, specifically within the `/api/runs/search/run/` endpoint, affecting versions >= 3.0.0. The vulnerability resides in the `run_search_api` function of the `aim/web/api/runs/views.py` file, where improper restriction of user access to the `RunView` object allows for the execution of arbitrary code via the `query` parameter. This issue enables attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the server, potentially leading to full system compromise.
