Evolver: Path Traversal via `--out` flag in `fetch` command allows Arbitrary File Write

Published May 4, 2026 · Updated May 4, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

Evolver is a GEP-powered self-evolving engine for AI agents. Prior to version 1.69.3, a path traversal vulnerability in the skill download (fetch) command allows attackers to write files to arbitrary locations on the filesystem. The --out= flag accepts user-provided paths without validation, enabling directory traversal attacks that can overwrite critical system files or create files in sensitive location. This issue has been patched in version 1.69.3.
