I am concerned about a reference made by a Sunni friend to a hadith in Sahih Muslim (Hadith No. 4577) where Hazrat Abbas (RA) reportedly used harsh terms like کاذب, گنہگار, عہد شکن, and خائن. Could you please provide clarification on this?

This narration is in Saheeh Muslim which is the second most authentic books of Hadeeth among our Sunni brothers, in which Umar ibn al-Khattab  himself told Abdullah ibn Abbas that : You and Ali looked at Abu Bakr as a liar, traitor, licentious, then looked at me as a liar, traitor, licentious.

This statement of Umar reflects the stand and opinion of Ali (AS) about Abu Bakr and Umar.

What do we have to say about Sahih Muslim Hadith 4577 in which Hazrat Abbas (RA) uses harsh words against Moula Ali (AS) calling him a liar, sinner, covenant-breaker, and traitor?

There is big misunderstanding in your quoting of the Hadeeth in Salih Muslim. The Hadeeth is narrated from Malik ibn Aws مالك بن أوس from Omar ibn Al-Khattab that Omar told Abdullah Ibn Abbas that you and your cousin Ali Ibn Abi Talib looked at Abu Bakr and at me as liars, sinners, covenant-breaker and traitor. (Salih Muslim, 5;152). 
'Omar was telling Abdullah Ibn Abbas what he and Ali (AS) thought about Abu Bakr and Omar.

This Hadeeth was narrated also in Musannaf Abdul Razzaq 5;472.

Bukhari has also narrated this Hadeeth from Musannaf Abdul Razzaq but he omitted two words from it.
