Overview
@evomap/evolver is an A GEP-powered self-evolution engine for AI agents. Features automated log analysis and Genome Evolution Protocol (GEP) for auditable, reusable evolution assets.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to External Control of File Name or Path via the fetch subcommand. An attacker can overwrite arbitrary files in the user's working directory, including executable scripts and configuration files, by supplying a crafted skill_id value and malicious file content from a remote Hub. This can result in execution of attacker-controlled code with the privileges of the victim when the overwritten files are subsequently run.
