CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe AI Agent Automation platform prior to version 0.9.1 is vulnerable due to improper validation of user-controlled file paths, allowing authenticated users to exploit path traversal vulnerabilities. This could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive files or the ability to overwrite critical application files, posing a significant risk to data integrity and confidentiality. Organizations using this platform should prioritize updating to version 0.9.1 to mitigate potential exploitation.

Original NVD Description
AI Agent Automation is a modular AI agent workflow automation platform with schedulers, tools, and observability. Prior to 0.9.1, the executeStep file-step implementation in backend/src/agents/executor.js passes the user-controlled step.path value through path.resolve with process.cwd() and then uses the resulting path for read or write operations without checking that it remains in an approved workflow directory. An authenticated user who can create or modify workflow file steps can supply traversal segments to escape the intended workspace and read sensitive files or write and overwrite files accessible to the backend process, including application-adjacent files when process permissions allow. This issue is fixed in version 0.9.1.
