Summary
Vulnerability in PraisonAI (versions before 4.6.40) – incomplete fix for previous flaw (CVE-2026-44336). An unauthenticated attacker can read any file on the host (e.g., /etc/passwd, SSH keys) via MCP tools/call to praisonai.workflow.show.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can access sensitive data such as passwords, private keys, and environment variables, potentially leading to full system compromise.
Recommendation
Update PraisonAI to version 4.6.40 or later. Restrict MCP interface access to trusted clients only.
Other vulnerabilities in PraisonAI
See all- CVE-2026-61434High
A vulnerability in PraisonAI before version 4.6.78 allows bypassing the shell command allowlist by using find's built-in actions (-exec, -execdir, -delete). Attackers can execute unauthorized commands, read or delete files without triggering shell metacharacter filters.
- CVE-2026-61432Medium
A path traversal vulnerability in PraisonAI (praisonaiagents) before version 1.6.78 in the FastContext feature. The FastContextAgent.execute_tool() function does not properly validate absolute paths or canonicalize relative paths, allowing reading, searching, and enumerating files outside the intended workspace directory.
- CVE-2026-61431Medium
PraisonAI before version 4.6.78 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the ContextGatherer component that fails to validate include paths in .praisoncontext and .praisoninclude files. Attackers can supply absolute paths or parent directory traversal sequences to read arbitrary files outside the workspace and include their contents in the generated context bundle.
- CVE-2026-60091High
PraisonAI before version 4.6.78 contains an unauthenticated server-side request forgery vulnerability in the Jobs API /api/v1/runs endpoint. The webhook_url parameter is validated at request time but re-resolved at connection time, allowing attackers to use DNS rebinding to reach internal services with a blind SSRF attack.
- CVE-2026-60089Medium
A vulnerability in PraisonAI (praisonaiagents) before version 1.6.78 automatically loads defaults from a project-local .praisonai/config.toml without validating the output.output_file path. An attacker can set this path to an absolute or '..' traversal path, causing agent.start() without an output parameter to overwrite files outside the project root.
- CVE-2026-44340High
In the multi-agent system PraisonAI prior to version 4.6.37, a vulnerability allows the exploitation of symlinks to write arbitrary data to a chosen location on the victim's filesystem. The issue stems from the lack of validation for member.linkname and not rejecting symlink/hardlink members.
- CVE-2026-44334High
In the multi-agent system PraisonAI, versions from 4.5.139 to before 4.6.32 have a vulnerability related to unauthorized file imports. The tool_override.py file lacks safeguards, allowing remote code execution by an attacker.
- CVE-2026-57118Critical
In PraisonAI prior to praisonaiagents 1.6.59, AgentTeam.launch and the Agents alias register GET /{path}/list, POST /{path}, and POST /{path}/{agent_id} without access-control checks before listing agents or calling agent.chat. A remotely exposed server can therefore let unauthenticated clients enumerate agents, consume model resources, access connected private context, and trigger agent tools or workflow side effects.
- CVE-2026-62176Critical
PraisonAI prior to version 4.6.78 has a vulnerability in the `deploy/api.py` module that generates Python server code by directly interpolating the `agents_file` parameter into an f-string, which is then written to a file and executed via `subprocess.Popen()`. An attacker who controls the `agents_file` value can inject arbitrary Python code.
- CVE-2026-57148Critical
In PraisonAI prior to 0.1.6, when PLATFORM_JWT_SECRET is unset, the public dev-secret-change-me HS256 signing key is used, and startup and token-issuance guards are disabled because PLATFORM_ENV defaults to dev. An unauthenticated attacker can sign a JWT with an arbitrary sub value that is accepted as an authenticated identity, enabling impersonation of a user or workspace owner.
Original NVD description (English source)
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to version 4.6.40, the fix for GHSA-9mqq-jqxf-grvw / CVE-2026-44336 is incomplete. The original advisory description named four vulnerable handlers in `mcp_server/adapters/cli_tools.py`. Commit `68cc9427` ("fix(security): harden MCP rules path handling…") added a `_resolve_rule_path()` helper and applied it to `rules.create`, `rules.show`, and `rules.delete`. `workflow.show` was left unchanged. Two adjacent handlers in the same file have the same pattern, `workflow.validate` and `deploy.validate`. Neither was mentioned in the original advisory. Both remained unchanged. The original advisory also identified the dispatcher (`server.py:281-298`) as a root cause. It accepts unvalidated `**kwargs` from `params["arguments"]` with no enforcement against the tool's declared `input_schema`. That code is unchanged prior to version 4.6.40. A single unauthenticated MCP `tools/call` to `praisonai.workflow.show` returns the contents of any file the host user can read: `/etc/passwd`, `~/.ssh/id_rsa`, `~/.aws/credentials`, or any project `.env`. Version 4.6.40 contains an updated fix.
