CVE-2026-114106: HKUDS Vibe-Trading path traversal in file-read tools

CVE-2026-114106 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-10-21

Vibe-Trading is an AI trading system that uses large language models with file-reading tools to process data. A path traversal vulnerability in the read_document and safe_user_path functions allows unauthenticated attackers to read sensitive files from the server, including system credentials (/etc/shadow), environment variables with API keys, and SSH keys (/root/.ssh/id_rsa). An attacker can exploit this by sending malicious prompts to the LLM agent, which then reads and returns sensitive data accessible to the container's root process.

How to fix

Fixed in: 0.1.7

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in two file-read tool functions: read_document() has no path sanitization and returns any file readable by the FastAPI process; safe_user_path() accepts any path under Path.home() or Path.cwd(), which resolve to /root and /app inside the shipped container, exposing credential files and environment variables. The LLM agent auto-discovers these tools and makes them callable without proper sandbox restrictions. Because the container runs as root with no USER directive, the process can access system files including /etc/shadow, /proc/self/environ, and credential files in /root and /app.
