{"id":"CVE-2026-58481","state":"PUBLISHED","title":"Network-AI: AgentRuntime sandbox path-prefix checks allow file access outside the configured base directory","description":"Network-AI is a TypeScript/Node.js multi-agent orchestrator. Prior to version 5.12.2, `AgentRuntime` promises scoped file access under a configured sandbox `basePath`, but its path containment checks use raw string prefix tests. A sandbox base such as `/tmp/network-ai-sandbox` also matches a sibling path such as `/tmp/network-ai-sandbox_evil/secret.txt`. An agent/user that can call `AgentRuntime.readFile()` or `AgentRuntime.listDir()` can read or list files outside the intended sandbox when the target path is in a sibling directory sharing the base path prefix. This breaks the documented sandbox boundary. The issue is fixed in v5.12.2. `SandboxPolicy.resolvePath()` and `isPathAllowed()` now use separator-anchored prefix checks (`resolved === base || resolved.startsWith(base + path.sep)`) for both the allow-list and block-list. A sibling directory that merely shares a name prefix (e.g. `/srv/app-evil` vs base `/srv/app`) is no longer treated as in-scope.","publishedAt":"2026-07-20T16:30:15.220Z","updatedAt":"2026-07-20T17:42:43.376Z","severity":{"score":6.5,"label":"Medium","version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N","source":"GitHub_M"},"assigner":"GitHub_M","products":["Jovancoding Network-AI"],"affected":[{"vendor":"Jovancoding","product":"Network-AI","versions":[{"version":"< 5.12.2","status":"affected"}]}],"references":["https://github.com/Jovancoding/Network-AI/security/advisories/GHSA-jvcm-f35g-w78p","https://github.com/Jovancoding/Network-AI/commit/a59c13a1f0ce0e8a0779a90343eef92fac5ab4c3","https://github.com/Jovancoding/Network-AI/releases/tag/v5.12.2"],"weaknesses":["CWE-22","CWE-23"],"ingestedAt":"2026-10-29T20:12:24.861Z","source":{"repository":"CVEProject/cvelistV5","path":"cves/2026/58xxx/CVE-2026-58481.json","commit":"556c9d3a8cd17e218bb8e452ba7cd619a384ff47"},"raw":{"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.2","cveMetadata":{"cveId":"CVE-2026-58481","state":"PUBLISHED","datePublished":"2026-07-20T16:30:15.220Z","dateUpdated":"2026-07-20T17:42:43.376Z","assignerShortName":"GitHub_M","assignerOrgId":"a0819718-46f1-4df5-94e2-005712e83aaa","dateReserved":"2026-06-30T20:21:25.811Z"},"containers":{"cna":{"title":"Network-AI: AgentRuntime sandbox path-prefix checks allow file access outside the configured base directory","descriptions":[{"lang":"en","value":"Network-AI is a TypeScript/Node.js multi-agent orchestrator.
