CVE-2026-61432
MediumCVSS 5.7Summary
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.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to read sensitive system files or application data, and inject file contents into the model's tool context, potentially leading to information disclosure or further privilege escalation.
Recommendation
Immediately update PraisonAI to version 1.6.78 or later, which includes a fix for the path traversal vulnerability.
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-2026-61431Medium
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.
- CVE-2026-57147Critical
In PraisonAI prior to 0.1.6, when PLATFORM_JWT_SECRET is unset, JWT_SECRET is assigned the public dev-secret-change-me value, and its production guard does not run when PLATFORM_ENV is also unset (defaults to dev). A remote unauthenticated attacker can mint an HS256 token with arbitrary sub and email, which is accepted by AuthService._verify_token() and get_current_user for protected API routes.
Original NVD description (English source)
PraisonAI (praisonaiagents) before 1.6.78 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the FastContext feature (praisonaiagents.context.fast). FastContextAgent.execute_tool() prepends the configured workspace_path only for relative paths and neither rejects absolute paths nor canonicalizes joined paths before enforcing workspace containment. As a result, tool arguments or model-generated function calls to grep_search, glob_search, read_file, or list_directory can supply absolute paths or '../' traversal sequences to read, search, and enumerate files outside the intended workspace directory, with file contents returned to the caller or injected into the model's tool-result context.
