CVE-2026-57142

HighCVSS 7.8
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In PraisonAI from version 4.5.87 to before 4.6.61, the dangerous-tool policy only checks tools declared in TEMPLATE.yaml requires.tools. For steps-based recipes, workflow.yaml is loaded by YAMLWorkflowParser, which resolves agent-level tools and preserves top-level approve:, allowing an untrusted recipe to declare execute_command and self-approve it without allow_dangerous_tools=True. The issue is patched in version 4.6.61.

Risk Assessment

An untrusted recipe can bypass the policy and gain access to the critical shell tool, leading to arbitrary command execution. This poses a serious system takeover risk.

Recommendation

Update PraisonAI to version 4.6.61 or later. Avoid running untrusted recipes and validate workflow.yaml files before use.

Original NVD description (English source)

PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. From version 4.5.87 to before version 4.6.61, PraisonAI recipe execution has a dangerous-tool policy that is supposed to block default-denied tools unless the caller explicitly passes allow_dangerous_tools=True. That policy only checks tools declared in TEMPLATE.yaml requires.tools. For steps-based recipes, the actual execution path loads workflow.yaml with YAMLWorkflowParser. That parser resolves agent-level tools: declarations and preserves top-level approve:. Workflow.start() then installs those YAML-approved tools into the approval context. As a result, an untrusted recipe can omit execute_command from TEMPLATE.yaml requires.tools, declare it in workflow.yaml agents.*.tools, and add top-level approve: [execute_command]. The caller did not set allow_dangerous_tools=True, but the recipe policy allows the recipe and the workflow approval path self-approves the critical shell tool. This issue has been patched in version 4.6.61.
