Upgrade AGiXT to version 1.9.2 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Since the vendor advisory confirms the fix in 1.9.2, applying this official update is the recommended remediation. No other mitigation steps are specified or required.

Description

AGiXT is a dynamic AI Agent Automation Platform. Prior to 1.9.2, the safe_join() function in the essential_abilities extension fails to validate that resolved file paths remain within the designated agent workspace. An authenticated attacker can use directory traversal sequences to read, write, or delete arbitrary files on the server hosting the AGiXT instance. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.9.2.
