Official Description

A directory traversal vulnerability in the agentic-context-engine project versions up to 0.7.1 allows arbitrary file writes via the checkpoint_dir parameter in OfflineACE.run. The save_to_file method in ace/skillbook.py fails to normalize or validate filesystem paths, allowing traversal sequences to escape the intended checkpoint directory. This vulnerability allows attackers to overwrite arbitrary files accessible to the application process, potentially leading to application corruption, privilege escalation, or code execution depending on the deployment context.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-29870 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A successful exploit results in full integrity compromise (data manipulation), with a CVSS base score of 7.6.
