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.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L","score":7.6},"cwes":["CWE-22"],"references":["https://github.com/lilmingwa13/security-research/blob/main/CVE-2026-29870.md"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:28:18.033120106+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-29870","score":0.006,"percentile":0.48738,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
