+id: ATR-2026-01978
+rule_version: 1
+status: draft
+description: >
+  CVE-2023-5832: mintplex-labs/anything-llm < 0.1.0 collector API exposes
+  POST /process which passes the request JSON 'filename' field straight into
+  process_single(WATCH_DIRECTORY, filename) without normalization. A filename
+  containing ../ directory-traversal sequences escapes the hotdir / WATCH_DIRECTORY
+  and lets a low-privilege user delete arbitrary files (e.g. ../../server/storage/anythingllm.db).
+  This rule keys on the /process + filename + ../ traversal triad and on traversal
+  payloads targeting anythingllm storage from the collector context.
