Description
Void through 1.3.4 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the AI agent file-reading tools that allows network-adjacent attackers to read arbitrary host files outside the open workspace by injecting instructions into content the agent processes. Attackers can supply absolute paths or file:// URIs through the read_file, ls_dir, get_dir_tree, and search_* tools, which lack workspace confinement and bypass the approval gate, enabling silent exfiltration of sensitive files such as SSH private keys or cloud credentials via subsequent tool calls.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a path traversal flaw in Void 1.3.4’s AI agent file‑reading tools that permits attackers to read files outside the intended workspace. By injecting absolute file paths or file:// URIs into the read_file, ls_dir, get_dir_tree, or search_* tools, an attacker can bypass the approval gate and silently exfiltrate sensitive data such as SSH private keys or cloud credentials. The flaw directly compromises confidentiality by allowing unrestricted access to system files that should not be visible to the AI agent.

Affected Systems

Open editor "void", version 1.3.4. No other versions or products are listed as affected.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 6 the vulnerability is considered moderate. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates that exploitation is expected to be rare, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is a network‑adjacent attacker able to send crafted instructions to the AI agent; the attack requires no special privileges beyond the agent’s existing file‑reading capabilities and therefore poses a local network‑level threat.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to the latest released version of Void that includes the patch for this path‑traversal issue
  • Disable or remove the AI agent file‑reading tools (read_file, ls_dir, get_dir_tree, search_*) for users who do not require them
  • Configure the editor to enforce strict workspace confinement so that tool calls are restricted to the approved directory hierarchy
