Summary
HKUDS Vibe-Trading from 0.1.0 before 0.1.7 contains a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) that lets remote attackers read sensitive server files through the LLM agent's file-read tools. An attacker can prompt the agent to call read_document, which lacks sandbox checks, or tools gated by safe_user_path, to leak /etc/shadow, /proc/self/environ API keys, and /root credentials.
