Path Traversal in network-ai (CVE-2026-58484)
Summary
Path traversal in network-ai (CVE-2026-58484). Data can be tampered with by attackers. Exploitable via path. Mitigation: upgrade to 5.12.2 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Network-AI is a TypeScript/Node.js multi-agent orchestrator. Prior to version 5.12.2, EnvironmentManager.listBackups() reads each backup's _manifest.json and trusts the manifest's path field. EnvironmentManager.pruneBackups() later passes that trusted entry.path directly to rmSync(entry.path, { recursive: true, force: true }). An attacker who can place or modify a manifest inside data//.backups//_manifest.json can cause network-ai env backup prune --env --keep or any code path invoking pruneBackups() to recursively delete an arbitrary path accessible to the Network-AI process user. This is fixed in v5.12.2. pruneBackups() no longer passes entry.path from the on-disk manifest to rmSync. The deletion path is recomputed from a format-validated entry.backupId, and a dirname containment check confines deletion to exactly one level under the backups directory. A poisoned manifest (e.g. "path": "/") is now inert.

CVE-2026-58484 (network-ai) — CWE-22 / CVSS v3 7.1
Attack vector: local / no user interaction
Attack surface: path / entry.path / before / true
Patched: 5.12.2 — apply immediately
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
Path traversal (CWE-22) exists in network-ai. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via path.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of network-ai. Attack surface: path / entry.path / before / true.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.1/10). Data can be tampered with by attackers.
Update to 5.12.2.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'network-ai' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.
