OpenHarness /issue and /prcomments slash commands lack remoteinvocable=False protection, allowing remote channel senders to write attacker-controlled Markdown into project context files. Admitted remote attackers can inject malicious content into .openharness/issue.md and .openharness/prcomments.md files, which are subsequently injected into runtime system prompts, persistently influencing local agent behavior.

OpenHarness ohmo gateway /resume and /summary slash commands default remoteinvocable to True, allowing admitted remote senders to enumerate and load arbitrary session snapshots by ID. Attackers can exploit this to access victim snapshots containing private prompts, credentials, tool output, and file paths via shared gateway channels.

OpenHarness prior to commit dd1d235 contains a command injection vulnerability that allows remote gateway users with chat access to invoke sensitive administrative commands by exploiting insufficient distinction between local-only and remote-safe commands in the gateway handler. Attackers can execute administrative commands such as /permissions fullauto through remote chat sessions to change permission modes of a running OpenHarness instance without operator authorization.

OpenHarness prior to commit dd1d235 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows remote gateway users with chat access to read arbitrary files by supplying path traversal sequences to the /memory show slash command. Attackers can manipulate the path input parameter to escape the project memory directory and access sensitive files accessible to the OpenHarness process without filesystem containment validation.

OpenHarness before commit bd4df81 contains a permission bypass vulnerability that allows attackers to read sensitive files by exploiting incomplete path normalization in the permission checker. Attackers can invoke the built-in grep and glob tools with sensitive root directories that are not properly evaluated against configured path rules, allowing disclosure of sensitive local file content, key material, configuration files, or directory contents despite configured path restrictions.

OpenHarness before commit bd4df81 contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the webfetch and websearch tools that allows attackers to access private and localhost HTTP services by manipulating tool parameters without proper validation of target addresses. Attackers can influence an agent session to invoke these tools against loopback, RFC1918, link-local, or other non-public addresses to read response bodies from local development services, cloud metadata endpoints, admin panels, or other private HTTP services reachable from the victim host.

OpenHarness prior to commit 166fcfe contains an improper access control vulnerability in built-in file tools due to inconsistent parameter handling in permission enforcement, allowing attackers who can influence agent tool execution to read arbitrary local files outside the intended repository scope. Attackers can exploit the path parameter not being passed to the PermissionChecker in readfile, writefile, editfile, and notebookedit tools to bypass deny rules and access sensitive files such as configuration files, credentials, and SSH material, or create and overwrite files in restricted host paths in fullauto mode.
