🔬 Technical Analysis

#

Summary Langroid's ReadFileTool and WriteFileTool appear to treat curr_dir as the intended working-directory boundary for file operations. However, the tools only change the process working directory to curr_dir and then operate on the user-supplied file_path without resolving and enforcing that the final path remains inside curr_dir. As a result, a tool caller can supply path traversal sequences such as ../secret.txt to read files outside the configured current directory, or ../written_by_tool.txt to write files outside that directory. This can impact applications that expose Langroid file tools to an LLM agent, user-controlled tool call, or delegated coding/documentation agent while relying on curr_dir to restrict file access to a project/workspace directory.
