Exploitation needs local write access to the backups directory (AV:L, PR:L) with no user interaction; the primitive deletes files, giving high integrity and availability impact but no confidentiality loss.

4DescriptionCVE.org
Network-AI is a TypeScript/Node.js multi-agent orchestrator. Prior to version 5.12.2, EnvironmentManager.listBackups() reads each backup's _manifest.json and trusts the manifest's path field. EnvironmentManager.pruneBackups() later passes that trusted entry.path directly to rmSync(entry.path, { recursive: true, force: true }). An attacker who can place or modify a manifest inside data/<env>/.backups/<name>/_manifest.json can cause network-ai env backup prune --env <env> --keep <n> or any code path invoking pruneBackups() to recursively delete an arbitrary path accessible to the Network-AI process user. This is fixed in v5.12.2. pruneBackups() no longer passes entry.path from the on-disk manifest to rmSync. The deletion path is recomputed from a format-validated entry.backupId, and a dirname containment check confines deletion to exactly one level under the backups directory. A poisoned manifest (e.g. "path": "/") is now inert.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary recursive file deletion in Network-AI (npm package network-ai) before v5.12.2 allows a local attacker who can write into an environment's backup directory to delete any path the process user can access. EnvironmentManager.pruneBackups() trusts the path field of an attacker-controllable _manifest.json and feeds it straight into rmSync(..., { recursive: true, force: true }), so a poisoned manifest such as "path": "/" gets deleted when network-ai env backup prune runs. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires local write access to a manifest file at `data/<env>/.backups/<name>/_manifest.json` so the attacker can control its `path` field, and requires that `pruneBackups()` subsequently execute - typically via `network-ai env backup prune --env <env> --keep <n>` or any caller of `pruneBackups()`. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H, base 7.1) is internally consistent with the description: exploitation is local (the attacker must place or modify a file on disk), low-complexity, and requires some level of existing access (PR:L) but no victim interaction, yielding high integrity and availability impact with no confidentiality loss - matching a delete-only primitive. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with write access to the environment's backup directory (e.g., a lower-privileged local user, a co-tenant, or via a separate file-write bug) drops or edits `data/dev/.backups/evil/_manifest.json` with `"path": "/"` or a path to a critical file. The next time an operator or automation runs `network-ai env backup prune --env dev --keep <n>` - or any code path calling `pruneBackups()` - Network-AI passes that path to `rmSync(..., { recursive: true, force: true })` and destroys it. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Network-AI 5.12.2 (npm `network-ai@5.12.2`), which recomputes the deletion path from a validated `backupId` and enforces a `dirname` containment check under the backups directory, rendering a poisoned `"path": "/"` manifest inert; the fix is delivered in commit a59c13a1f0ce0e8a0779a90343eef92fac5ab4c3 (https://github.com/Jovancoding/Network-AI/commit/a59c13a1f0ce0e8a0779a90343eef92fac5ab4c3) and release v5.12.2 (https://github.com/Jovancoding/Network-AI/releases/tag/v5.12.2). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
