CVE-2024-8616GHSA-g48v-3p35-88jr

What to do

Vendor response not established. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check back for a fix.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

In h2oai/h2o-3 version 3.46.0, the /99/Models/{name}/json endpoint allows for arbitrary file overwrite on the target server. The vulnerability arises from the exportModelDetails function in ModelsHandler.java, where the user-controllable mexport.dir parameter is used to specify the file path for writing model details. This can lead to overwriting files at arbitrary locations on the host system.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-8616

Advisory: H2O Vulnerable to Arbitrary File Overwrite
IDs: CVE-2024-8616, GHSA-g48v-3p35-88jr
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-8616 (revision 2, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 13:31 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.2)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- PyPI h2o: affected >= 3.10.4.1, <= 3.46.0
- Maven ai.h2o:h2o-core: affected >= 3.10.4.1, <= 3.46.0

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `python -m pip show h2o`: prints the installed version. Run with the environment that serves production active.
- Maven ai.h2o:h2o-core: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on h2o, ai.h2o:h2o-core.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
