Summary
Network-AI from 5.13.4 before 5.15.5 contains a path traversal flaw (CWE-23) in AgentVCR. Attackers who control the cassette name can pass traversal sequences to load() or save() to read or write arbitrary .json files. A remote attacker with low privileges can disclose sensitive JSON data or overwrite policy files such as the AuthGuardian trust-level configuration.
