Medium [CVE-2026-65698] Sensitive file exfiltration via AI agent path traversal vulnerability

Void through 1.3.4 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the AI agent file-reading tools that allows network-adjacent attackers to read arbitrary host files outside the open workspace by injecting instructions into content the agent processes.

Attackers can supply absolute paths or file:// URIs through the read_file, ls_dir, get_dir_tree, and search_* tools, which lack workspace confinement and bypass the approval gate, enabling silent exfiltration of sensitive files such as SSH private keys or cloud credentials via subsequent tool calls.

An attacker who can inject instructions into content the agent processes may read arbitrary host files and exfiltrate sensitive data such as SSH keys or cloud credentials.

A remote attacker who can get malicious instructions into agent-processed content (user interaction, high attack complexity) may read files outside the workspace via absolute paths or file:// URIs and exfiltrate them through later tool calls. Affects Void through 1.3.4.
