CVE-2026-108595 Details
Description
Phi 0.3.0 through 0.28.4 contains a permission bypass vulnerability that allows spawned sub-agents to escape workspace_only_writes and readonly mode by supplying an unchecked workdir to agent_spawn. Attackers can plant prompt-injected instructions in processed content so the agent spawns a worker rooted elsewhere, causing unapproved file writes anywhere the user can write.
A permission bypass vulnerability has been identified in Phi versions 0.3.0 through 0.28.4. This vulnerability allows spawned sub-agents to escape 'workspace_only_writes' and 'readonly' modes by providing an unchecked working directory to the 'agent_spawn' tool. As a result, sub-agents can write files to unauthorized locations, bypassing the intended restrictions.
Users can update to Phi version 0.28.9 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
