  "details" : [ "A flaw was found in InstructLab. A local attacker could exploit a path traversal vulnerability in the chat session handler by manipulating the `logs_dir` parameter. This allows the attacker to create new directories and write files to arbitrary locations on the system, potentially leading to unauthorized data modification or disclosure.", "A flaw was found in InstructLab.

  "statement" : "This Moderate impact vulnerability in instructlab allows for path traversal due to an unsanitized `logs_dir` parameter within the chat session handler. An attacker could exploit this to create arbitrary directories and write files to arbitrary locations on the system. This affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI.",
