Summary
PraisonAI before version 4.6.78 contains arbitrary file write and command execution vulnerabilities in the AICoder component. Missing path validation and command sanitization in LLM tool calls allow attackers to inject malicious prompts through the chat interface.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can write files to arbitrary filesystem locations and execute arbitrary shell commands with root privileges, leading to full server compromise.
Recommendation
Immediately update PraisonAI to version 4.6.78 or later. Implement additional path validation and command sanitization in the AICoder component.
Other vulnerabilities in PraisonAI
See all- CVE-2026-57132High
In PraisonAI prior to 4.6.62, setting PRAISONAI_CALL_AUTH to disabled makes verify_token accept requests to /api/v1/agents/{id}/invoke without CALL_SERVER_TOKEN authentication. Deployments using the advertised opt-out can expose registered agents and their connected tools or private context to unauthenticated invocation.
- CVE-2026-57119High
In PraisonAI prior to 4.6.59, the unauthenticated Jobs API accepts an absolute or traversing agent_file path in POST /api/v1/runs and passes it to the job executor without a workspace allowlist or boundary check. A remote caller can cause the server to open files accessible to the service account, exposing credentials, keys, environment variables, and other local data.
- CVE-2026-56839High
In PraisonAI prior to 4.6.59, the CODE_TOOLS wrappers keep _workspace_root as None and pass workspace=None to read_file, search_replace, and apply_diff helpers that enforce path containment only for a truthy workspace. An application exposing code_read_file, code_search_replace, or code_apply_diff before set_workspace can let prompt-influenced calls read and modify files outside the intended project directory.
- 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.
Original NVD description (English source)
PraisonAI before 4.6.78 contains arbitrary file write and command execution vulnerabilities in the AICoder component due to missing path validation and command sanitization in LLM tool calls. Attackers can inject malicious prompts through the chat interface to write files to arbitrary filesystem locations and execute arbitrary shell commands with root privileges.
