Network-AI: EnvironmentManager.backup() follows symlinked directories and copies files outside the environment root into backups

CVE-2026-58414

Description

Network-AI is a TypeScript/Node.js multi-agent orchestrator. Prior to version 5.12.2, EnvironmentManager.backup() recursively collects files using _collectBackupFiles(). _collectBackupFiles() uses statSync(full), which follows symlinks. If data/ contains a symlink to a directory outside the environment root, backup recursion follows the symlink and copies external files into data//.backups//. An attacker who can place a symlink under the environment data directory can cause backup operations to disclose files outside the environment root into backup artifacts. The issue is fixed in v5.12.2. _collectBackupFiles() now uses lstatSync instead of statSync and skips any entry where isSymbolicLink() is true. Symlinks are never traversed, so backup() can no longer follow a link out of the environment root and copy external files into a backup artifact.
