CVE-2026-48716
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
nanobot is a personal AI assistant. In versions 0.1.5.post3 and prior, the WhatsApp bridge in bridge/src/whatsapp.ts constructs a filesystem path using the fileName field from an incoming WhatsApp document message without sanitization. The WhatsApp bridge downloads media attachments and writes them to disk using a filename derived from the sender's message via documentMessage.fileName, which is concatenated with a prefix and its raw value is passed directly to path.join(mediaDir, outFilename). Node.js path.join resolves .. components, allowing an attacker to escape the intended media/ directory by sending a document with a crafted fileName such as ../../../.ssh/authorized_keys. Because the attacker also controls the file content (the downloaded buffer), this is a write-anywhere primitive — both path and content are attacker-controlled. A fix for this issue is planned for version 0.1.5.post4.

"value": "nanobot es un asistente personal de IA. En las versiones 0.1.5.post3 y anteriores, el puente de WhatsApp en bridge/src/whatsapp.ts construye una ruta del sistema de archivos utilizando el campo fileName de un mensaje de documento de WhatsApp entrante sin sanitización. El puente de WhatsApp descarga archivos adjuntos multimedia y los escribe en el disco utilizando un nombre de archivo derivado del mensaje del remitente a través de documentMessage.fileName, el cual se concatena con un prefijo y su valor sin procesar se pasa directamente a path.join(mediaDir, outFilename). Node.js path.join resuelve los componentes .., permitiendo a un atacante escapar del directorio media/ previsto enviando un documento con un fileName manipulado como .. / .. / .. / .ssh/authorized_keys. Debido a que el atacante también controla el contenido del archivo (el búfer descargado), esto es una primitiva de escritura en cualquier lugar - tanto la ruta como el contenido están controlados por el atacante. Se planea una solución para este problema para la versión 0.1.5.post4."
