EverOS: Path traversal in EverOS /api/v1/memory/add via unvalidated sender_id

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jun 19, 2026 in EverMind-AI/EverOS • Updated Jun 19, 2026

Affected versions

1.0.1

Description

EverOS versions 1.0.0 and earlier are vulnerable to path traversal in the POST /api/v1/memory/add ingestion endpoint. The per-message sender_id field was not validated as a path-safe identifier (unlike app_id / project_id, which already enforced this). During user-memory extraction, sender_id is used as the owner_id and joined into the filesystem path where the extracted episode is persisted as a Markdown file. A sender_id containing ../ sequences could direct the write outside the configured memory root, allowing an unauthenticated caller to create or overwrite .md files at locations writable by the server process (unauthorized arbitrary file write). The file content is partially attacker-influenced.

Patch: Fixed in v1.0.1 with (1) path-safe validation on sender_id (character whitelist plus rejection of the . and .. tokens) and (2) a defense-in-depth containment check in the Markdown writer that rejects any write resolving outside the memory root before any filesystem access, covering both the write and the append read-modify-write paths.

Remediation: Upgrade to EverOS 1.0.1. There is no workaround for affected versions other than upgrading.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.

Weaknesses

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
