CVE-2026-76832: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in Agno AGI Agno
CVE-2026-76832 is a path traversal vulnerability in Agno AGI's PythonTools component that allows attackers to escape the intended directory restrictions. By supplying parent-directory traversal sequences in file-related tool actions, attackers can read, write, or execute arbitrary files with the process user's privileges. This vulnerability affects version 0 of Agno. The CVSS score is 8.5, indicating high severity.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Agno AGI's PythonTools in libs/agno/agno/tools/python.py contains a path traversal vulnerability (CVE-2026-76832) that permits attackers to bypass directory restrictions by injecting parent-directory traversal sequences in the file_name argument to read_file, save_to_file, or run_python_file actions. This allows arbitrary file read, write, or Python code execution within the permissions of the process user. The vulnerability can be exploited via direct tool invocation or through prompt injection embedded in agent-processed content. The affected version is 0.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to read, write, or execute arbitrary files on the system with the privileges of the process user running Agno. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure, modification, or execution of code, potentially compromising the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
No patch or remediation information is provided. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the vulnerable tool and avoid processing untrusted input that could trigger the vulnerable actions.
