Summary

MoAI-ADK through 3.1.2 contains an improper link resolution flaw (CWE-59) in the moai init template deployer. A malicious repository can commit a symlink at a .moai-tmp staging path, so the write follows the link and overwrites files outside the project that the victim can write. An attacker needs only to get the victim to run moai init on the repository, and the overwritten files suffer low integrity and availability impact.

Description from the CNA

MoAI-ADK through 3.1.2 contains an improper link resolution vulnerability in the moai init template deployer that allows malicious repositories to overwrite files outside the project via a symlinked .moai-tmp staging path. Attackers can commit a symlink such as .claude/settings.json.moai-tmp so atomicWriteFile truncates and overwrites victim-writable files with MoAI template content.
