CVE-2026-29870
Last modified
CVE-2026-29870 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.6/10 on the CVSS scale. A directory traversal vulnerability in the agentic-context-engine project versions up to 0.7.1 allows arbitrary file writes via the checkpoint_dir parameter in OfflineACE.run. The save_to_file method in ace/skillbook.py fails to normalize or validate filesystem paths, allowing traversal sequences to escape the intended checkpoint directory. EPSS estimates a 0.58% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
A directory traversal vulnerability in the agentic-context-engine project versions up to 0.7.1 allows arbitrary file writes via the checkpoint_dir parameter in OfflineACE.run. The save_to_file method in ace/skillbook.py fails to normalize or validate filesystem paths, allowing traversal sequences to escape the intended checkpoint directory. This vulnerability allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary files accessible to the application process, potentially leading to application corruption, privilege escalation, or code execution depending on the deployment context.
