Description

AGiXT is a dynamic AI Agent Automation Platform. Prior to 1.9.2, the safe_join() function in the essential_abilities extension fails to validate that resolved file paths remain within the designated agent workspace. An authenticated attacker can use directory traversal sequences to read, write, or delete arbitrary files on the server hosting the AGiXT instance. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.9.2.
