A flaw was found in the ChromaDB Python project. This pre-authentication code injection vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server. The attacker can achieve this by sending a malicious model repository to the /api/v2/tenants/{tenant}/databases/{db}/collections endpoint, provided that trust_remote_code is set to true.
