H2O Vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) and File Write
Details
In h2oai/h2o-3 version 3.46.0.1, the `run_tool` command exposes classes in the `water.tools` package through the `ast` parser. This includes the `XGBoostLibExtractTool` class, which can be exploited to shut down the server and write large files to arbitrary directories, leading to a denial of service.
