PYSEC-2026-2794
OpenChatBI has a Path Traversal Vulnerability in save_report Tool
Quick fix
PYSEC-2026-2794 — openchatbi: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
pip install --upgrade 'openchatbi>=0.2.2'Details
### Impact The `save_report` tool in `openchatbi/tool/save_report.py` suffers from a critical path traversal vulnerability due to insufficient input sanitization of the `file_format` parameter.
The function only removes leading dots of `file_format` using `file_format.lstrip(".")` but allows path traversal sequences like `/../../` to pass through unchanged. When the filename is constructed via string concatenation in
f"{timestamp}_{clean_title}.{file_format}"
malicious path sequences are preserved, enabling attackers to write files outside the designated report directory.
An attacker can manipulate the LLM to call the tool with a specific `file_format` to overwrite critical system files like `__init__.py`, potentially leading to remote code execution.
### Patches - Affected versions: <=0.2.1 - Patched versions: 0.2.2 (includes fix from PR #12: https://github.com/zhongyu09/openchatbi/pull/12)
