Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the ChromaDB Python project. An authenticated attacker with UPDATE_COLLECTION permission could exploit a code injection vulnerability. By sending a malicious model repository to a specific API endpoint with trust_remote_code enabled, the attacker can execute arbitrary code on the server. This could lead to a complete compromise of the affected system.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-06-12 16:02:39 UTC
A code injection vulnerability in version 0.4.17 or later of the ChromaDB Python project allows an authenticated attacker to run arbitrary code on the server by sending a malicious model repository and trust_remote_code set to true in theĀ /api/v2/tenants/default_tenant/databases/default_database/collections/{collection_id} if they have the UPDATE_COLLECTION permission.
