Summary

Network-AI, a multi-agent AI orchestration framework, is affected by a path traversal flaw in its input sanitization routine for file paths. An attacker could read, list, or write files outside the intended sandboxed directory, potentially exposing or altering sensitive data on the host system.

Read the original description

Network-AI before 5.15.5 contains a path traversal vulnerability in InputSanitizer.sanitizePath() that allows attackers to escape the base directory using sibling-directory paths. Attackers can supply paths whose directory name shares a string prefix with the base, bypassing the unanchored startsWith check to read, list, or write files outside the sandbox.

What to do

  • Check every install: default setups are affected.

  • Upgrade to a fixed version: 5.15.5.

FAQ

Questions about CVE-2026-120313

What does this mean?

sanitizePath() can let a supplied path that names a sibling directory sharing a string prefix with the base directory get outside that base directory. An attacker could then read, list, or write files the sandbox was meant to withhold.Source: github.com, vulncheck.com

Am I affected, and how do I check?

Network-AI 5.15.4 and earlier, in applications that import InputSanitizer from the published network-ai/security subpath export and call sanitizePath(). To check, look at the installed Network-AI version and search the application code for InputSanitizer imports from network-ai/security.Source: github.com, vulncheck.com

What should I do about it?

Upgrade Network-AI to 5.15.5 or later, which is the fixed version. The facts list no workaround.Source: github.com, vulncheck.com

Is it being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data
