# Vibe-Trading: path traversal lets AI agent read server secrets

Vibe-Trading versions 0.1.0 through 0.1.6 let remote attackers read sensitive server files through the LLM agent's file-read tools. An attacker can prompt the agent to call read_document, which lacks sandbox checks, to read /etc/shadow, /proc/self/environ API keys, and /root credentials.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

Check the installed Vibe-Trading version and confirm whether it is below 0.1.7. unknown for any other check.

## Fix

Upgrade Vibe-Trading to 0.1.7 or later. Rotate any API keys and credentials that were readable from the server's environment or /root.

## From the sources

HKUDS Vibe-Trading from 0.1.0 before 0.1.7 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows remote attackers to read sensitive server files through LLM agent file-read tools. Attackers can prompt the agent to invoke read_document, which lacks sandbox checks, or safe_user_path-gated tools to leak /etc/shadow, /proc/self/environ API keys, and /root credentials.
