📄 الوصف (الإنجليزية)
A security vulnerability has been detected in griptape-ai griptape 0.19.4. Affected by this vulnerability is the function load_files_from_disk/list_files_from_disk/save_content_to_file/save_memory_artifacts_to_disk of the component FileManagerTool. Such manipulation leads to path traversal. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
🤖 ملخص AI
CVE-2026-5595 is a path traversal vulnerability in griptape-ai version 0.19.4 affecting the FileManagerTool component. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to read, write, or manipulate files outside intended directories through improper input validation in file operations. With no patch available and public exploit disclosure, this poses an immediate risk to organizations using griptape for AI applications.

🇸🇦 التأثير على المملكة العربية السعودية
Saudi organizations leveraging griptape-ai for AI-powered applications face significant risk, particularly in: (1) Banking/SAMA-regulated institutions using AI for document processing and customer data management; (2) Government agencies (NCA, CITC) deploying AI tools for administrative automation; (3) Healthcare providers using AI for patient record management; (4) Energy sector (ARAMCO, utilities) utilizing AI for operational analytics. Path traversal could expose sensitive financial data, personal information, classified government documents, and critical infrastructure configurations. The lack of vendor response elevates urgency for Saudi organizations.

🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:
1. Audit all systems running griptape-ai 0.19.4 and identify instances of FileManagerTool usage
2. Restrict network access to griptape-ai services using firewall rules and network segmentation
3. Implement input validation at application layer to sanitize file paths (remove ../, ..\ and absolute paths)
4. Review file access logs for suspicious path traversal attempts (patterns: ../, encoded traversal sequences)
COMPENSATING CONTROLS:
5. Run griptape-ai with minimal file system permissions using OS-level access controls (chroot, containers)
6. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block path traversal payloads
7. Deploy file integrity monitoring on sensitive directories
8. Isolate griptape-ai instances in sandboxed environments with restricted file system access
PATCHING:
9. Monitor griptape-ai GitHub repository for security updates and upgrade immediately when available
10. Consider alternative AI frameworks with better security track records if patch timeline is unclear
DETECTION:
11. Monitor for file access patterns outside expected directories
12. Alert on FileManagerTool function calls with path parameters containing ../ or absolute paths
13. Log all file read/write operations with source IP and user context
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
الإجراءات الفورية:
1. تدقيق جميع الأنظمة التي تعمل بـ griptape-ai 0.19.4 وتحديد استخدام FileManagerTool
2. تقييد الوصول الشبكي لخدمات griptape-ai باستخدام قواعد جدار الحماية والفصل الشبكي
3. تطبيق التحقق من المدخلات على مستوى التطبيق لتنظيف مسارات الملفات (إزالة ../ و ..\ والمسارات المطلقة)
4. مراجعة سجلات الوصول للملفات بحثاً عن محاولات اجتياز مريبة
الضوابط البديلة:
5. تشغيل griptape-ai بأقل صلاحيات نظام الملفات باستخدام التحكم في الوصول على مستوى نظام التشغيل
6. تطبيق قواعد جدار تطبيقات الويب لحجب حمولات اجتياز المسار
7. نشر مراقبة سلامة الملفات على الدلائل الحساسة
8. عزل مثيلات griptape-ai في بيئات محمية مع وصول نظام ملفات مقيد
التصحيح:
9. مراقبة مستودع griptape-ai على GitHub للتحديثات الأمنية والترقية فوراً عند توفرها
10. النظر في أطر عمل ذكية بديلة بسجلات أمان أفضل
الكشف:
11. مراقبة أنماط الوصول للملفات خارج الدلائل المتوقعة
12. تنبيهات على استدعاءات FileManagerTool بمعاملات مسار تحتوي على ../ أو مسارات مطلقة
13. تسجيل جميع عمليات قراءة/كتابة الملفات مع عنوان IP والسياق
