## Overview

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the `apply_settings` function of parisneo/lollms versions prior to 9.5.1. The `sanitize_path` function does not adequately secure the `discussion_db_name` parameter, allowing attackers to manipulate the path and potentially write to important system folders.

## Affected packages

- `lollms < 9.5.1`

## Remediation

Upgrade to a patched release:

- `lollms 9.5.1`
