CVE-2026-53598Prompty: Arbitrary File Read via ${file:path} Reference Expansion

Updated under an hour ago ()

Does this affect you?

It affects microsoft prompty. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

Prompty is a markdown file format (.prompty) for LLM prompts. Prior to 2.0.0-beta.2, Prompty loaders expanded ${file:...} references in .prompty frontmatter without enforcing that resolved paths stayed within the prompt directory or allowed roots, allowing an attacker-controlled prompt file to read local files through absolute paths, .. traversal, or symlink escapes. This issue is fixed in versions 2.0.0-beta.2.
