CVE-2026-4997Public exploitNetwork attack vector

File disclosure via undisclosed path traversal

Published Mar 28, 2026 · Updated Mar 28, 2026

Path traversal in PandasAI 3.0 allows remote attackers to read data outside an intended directory via crafted input. The CVE record names is_sql_query_safe in pandasai/helpers/sql_sanitizer.py, but neither the record nor the current function discloses a pathname operation or the crafted value. The published assessment requires no authentication or user interaction; remote reachability depends on a consuming application exposing the library to network input, and the reported consequence is limited data disclosure.
