CVE-2026-51853: n/a
agent-zero versions 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, and 1.10 contain a directory traversal vulnerability in the FileBrowser class located in python/helpers/file_browser.py. This vulnerability allows the agent to access any file on the system without restriction by initializing the workspace at the host root directory.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The FileBrowser class in agent-zero versions 1.7 through 1.10 initializes with the host root directory as the workspace, which enables directory traversal. This flaw allows unauthorized access to arbitrary files on the host system, bypassing intended access controls.
Potential Impact
An attacker leveraging this vulnerability could read any file on the affected system, potentially exposing sensitive information or system files. There is no information about active exploitation in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
