Entire CLI: Path traversal in checkpoint session metadata allows arbitrary file write during resume/rewind
GitHub lists this reviewed advisory for github.com/entireio/cli. Published version ranges and source prerequisites are shown below; this is not an inspection of a visitor’s application.
This report has not inspected your inventory, configuration, deployed build, reachability or evidence. A catalog listing and a severity score do not establish exposure or compromise.

### Impact A path traversal vulnerability in Entire CLI allows an attacker with push access to the checkpoints repository to craft malicious checkpoint metadata that causes `entire session resume` or `entire checkpoint rewind` to write attacker-controlled transcript data outside of the expected session directory. The issue occurs because checkpoint metadata is fetched from the remote `entire/checkpoints/v1` branch and the `SessionID` field was used to construct filesystem paths without validation in the restore path. A malicious `SessionID` containing absolute paths or path traversal sequences could cause arbitrary files on the victim’s machine to be overwritten. ### Patches The patched versions (`v0.7.7` or `v0.7.8-nightly.*`) observe stronger input validation and enforce traversal-resistant primitives to ensure that only descending directories can be accessed by the affected commands. ### Workarounds If upgrading immediately is not possible: - Do not run `entire session resume` or `entire checkpoint rewind` on repositories where untrusted users can push to `entire/checkpoints/v1`. - Restrict push access to shared repositories until all collaborators have upgraded. - Inspec
03 / Response
What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. GitHub Advisory Database
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
