CVE-2026-58414Public exploit

Local file disclosure via symlink-following backups

Published Jul 20, 2026 · Updated Jul 20, 2026

Link following in Jovancoding Network-AI before 5.12.2 allows local users to copy external files into backup artifacts. The EnvironmentManager._collectBackupFiles() walker calls statSync() on entries, follows directory symlinks outside data/, and backup() copies the resolved files. An attacker must be able to create a symlink under an environment data directory; disclosure is limited to files readable by the Network-AI process and later accessible through its backups.
