CVE-2026-50181
Published:July 09, 2026
Updated:July 21, 2026
Langroid is a framework for building large-language-model-powered applications. Prior to version 0.64.0, Langroid's "ReadFileTool" and "WriteFileTool" appear to treat "curr_dir" as the intended working-directory boundary for file operations. However, the tools only change the process working directory to "curr_dir" and then operate on the user-supplied "file_path" without resolving and enforcing that the final path remains inside "curr_dir". As a result, a tool caller can supply path traversal sequences such as "../secret.txt" to read files outside the configured current directory, or "../written_by_tool.txt" to write files outside that directory. This can impact applications that expose Langroid file tools to an LLM agent, user-controlled tool call, or delegated coding/documentation agent while relying on "curr_dir" to restrict file access to a project/workspace directory. Version 0.64.0 patches the issue.
