| Title | griptape v0.19.4 Absolute Path Traversal |
|---|
| Description | The `FileManagerTool` (backed by `LocalFileManagerDriver`) in Griptape provides capabilities to list, read, and write files. However, it fails to properly sanitize file paths provided by the LLM. It directly concatenates the llm-supplied path with the working directory.
This allows for a path traversal vulnerability. An attacker can use prompt injection to coerce the LLM into providing paths containing `../` sequences. This enables the agent to:
1. **Read arbitrary files** (e.g., `/etc/passwd`) via `load_files_from_disk`.
2. **List arbitrary directories** via `list_files_from_disk`.
3. **Write to arbitrary files** via `save_content_to_file` or `save_memory_artifacts_to_disk`.
