Description
HKUDS Vibe-Trading from 0.1.0 before 0.1.7 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows remote attackers to read sensitive server files through LLM agent file-read tools. Attackers can prompt the agent to invoke read_document, which lacks sandbox checks, or safe_user_path-gated tools to leak /etc/shadow, /proc/self/environ API keys, and /root credentials.

KEV: No
Impact: Remote path traversal enabling file read of sensitive server data
Action: Patch Immediately
AI Analysis

Impact

This vulnerability resides in the read_document and safe_user_path functions of HKUDS Vibe-Trading. The functions lack proper sandbox checks, allowing a remote user to craft requests that cause the application to read arbitrary files on the host. Files such as /etc/shadow, /proc/self/environ, and /root credentials can be exposed, compromising confidentiality and potentially permitting privileged access if credentials are retrieved.

Affected Systems

Products from the vendor HKUDS named Vibe-Trading, versions 0.1.0 through 0.1.6, are affected. Any deployment of these versions on a server exposes the application to remote file-read attacks.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.7 classifies this as a high severity vulnerability. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates that, while the vulnerability exists, the current exploit probability is low. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Remote attackers can exploit the flaw by invoking the vulnerable LLM agent file‑read tools through the read_document endpoint, bypassing sandbox checks. Successful exploitation would result in the disclosure of confidential data on the affected host.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade HKUDS Vibe-Trading to version 0.1.7 or later to remove the path traversal flaw
  • Disable or restrict the LLM agent’s read_document and safe_user_path tools to prevent untrusted input from reaching file‑system calls
  • Implement additional server‑side file‑access controls (e.g., chroot or firewall rules) to block unintended file reads from the application context
