CVE-2026-58414 Details
Description
Network-AI is a TypeScript/Node.js multi-agent orchestrator. Prior to version 5.12.2, `EnvironmentManager.backup()` recursively collects files using `_collectBackupFiles()`. `_collectBackupFiles()` uses `statSync(full)`, which follows symlinks. If `data/<env>` contains a symlink to a directory outside the environment root, backup recursion follows the symlink and copies external files into `data/<env>/.backups/<backupId>/`. An attacker who can place a symlink under the environment data directory can cause backup operations to disclose files outside the environment root into backup artifacts. The issue is fixed in v5.12.2. `_collectBackupFiles()` now uses `lstatSync` instead of `statSync` and skips any entry where `isSymbolicLink()` is true. Symlinks are never traversed, so `backup()` can no longer follow a link out of the environment root and copy external files into a backup artifact.
A symlink escape vulnerability has been identified in Network-AI, a TypeScript/Node.js multi-agent orchestrator, in versions prior to 5.12.2. The issue arises in the 'EnvironmentManager.backup()' method, which recursively collects files using '_collectBackupFiles()'. This function, vulnerable to symlink attacks, follows symlinks and can be exploited to copy external files into backup artifacts. An attacker who can place a symlink in the environment data directory can cause backup operations to disclose files outside the environment root.
Users can upgrade to Network-AI version 5.12.2, where this vulnerability is fixed. The patched version is available on npm.
