CVE-2026-62677: CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in omnigent-ai omnigent
Description
Omnigent is an open-source AI agent framework and meta-harness for orchestrating coding agents. Prior to 0.3.0, an authenticated user can upload a session-scoped agent bundle with an absolute or traversal-containing os_env.cwd value because omnigent/spec/parser.py stores the value verbatim and omnigent/spec/validator.py does not constrain it. On a runner where OMNIGENT_RUNNER_WORKSPACE is unset, omnigent/runner/resource_registry.py preserves the attacker-controlled path and omnigent/inner/os_env.py uses the resolved path as the environment root and copytree source. The _assert_within_cwd check then treats that attacker-selected root as trusted, allowing sys_os_read, write, edit, and shell tools to access runner files and environment secrets outside the intended workspace. This issue is fixed in version 0.3.0.

Technical Analysis
Omnigent versions before 0.3.0 contain a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) where an authenticated user can supply an absolute or traversal-containing os_env.cwd value in a session-scoped agent bundle. The framework stores this value verbatim and does not validate it, allowing the attacker-controlled path to be used as the environment root. Consequently, file operations such as read, write, edit, and shell commands can access files and environment secrets outside the intended workspace. This vulnerability is resolved in version 0.3.0.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to access and manipulate files outside the designated workspace, potentially exposing sensitive runner files and environment secrets. This can lead to full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise of the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
This vulnerability is fixed in omnigent version 0.3.0. Users should upgrade to version 0.3.0 or later to remediate this issue. No other mitigation guidance is provided or necessary as the fix addresses the root cause.
