Summary
Omnigent versions from 0.3.0 before 0.14.0 contain a path traversal flaw (CWE-22) that lets authenticated users escape the workspace by setting os_env.cwd on nested sub-agents. An attacker with low privileges can upload a bundle whose sub-agent uses an absolute or parent-traversing working directory, bypassing root-only validation, and read and write host files as the runner user.
