Summary

Address high severity security finding in applications/ColossalChat/coati/distributed/profiling_utils.py.

Vulnerability

Field Value
ID utils.custom.path-traversal-open
Severity HIGH
Scanner semgrep
Rule utils.custom.path-traversal-open
File applications/ColossalChat/coati/distributed/profiling_utils.py:11
Assessment Pattern match — needs manual review

Description: User-controlled input used in file path for open() without sanitization. This can allow path traversal attacks to read arbitrary files.

Evidence

Scanner confirmation: semgrep rule utils.custom.path-traversal-open matched this pattern as utils.custom.path-traversal-open.

Production code: This file is in the production codebase, not test-only code.

Threat Model Context

This is a Python library - vulnerabilities affect applications that import this code.

Changes

  • applications/ColossalChat/coati/distributed/profiling_utils.py

Verification

  • Build passes
  • Scanner re-scan confirms fix
  • LLM code review passed

This change addresses a pattern flagged by static analysis. The code path handles user-influenced input and the fix reduces the attack surface against both manual and automated exploitation.
