What is CVE-2026-55747?
CVE-2026-55747 is a medium-severity path traversal vulnerability in The-Pocket PocketFlow (pocketflow-coding-agent cookbook example), published on 5 Aug 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
The pocketflow-coding-agent cookbook example in The-Pocket/PocketFlow implements a helper as a thin os.path.join(workdir, p) wrapper with no canonicalization or containment check, used unguarded by the ReadFile, ListFiles, PatchRead, and PatchApply file-access tools. Severity reflects that this affects an illustrative cookbook example rather than a core library API; applications that copy this pattern into production are affected.
Weakness: CWE-22
