Path Traversal in praisonai (CVE-2026-56078)
Summary
Path traversal in praisonai (CVE-2026-56078). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via MultiAgentLedger. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.5.115 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
The MultiAgentLedger and MultiAgentMonitor components in the provided code exhibit vulnerabilities that can lead to context leakage and arbitrary file operations. Specifically:
- Memory State Leakage via Agent ID Collision: The
MultiAgentLedgeruses a dictionary to store ledgers by agent ID without enforcing uniqueness. This allows agents with the same ID to share ledger instances, leading to potential leakage of sensitive context data. - Path Traversal in MultiAgentMonitor: The
MultiAgentMonitorconstructs file paths by concatenating thebase_pathand agent ID without sanitization. This allows an attacker to escape the intended directory using path traversal sequences (e.g.,../), potentially leading to arbitrary file read/write.
Details
Vulnerability 1: Memory State Leakage
- File:
examples/context/12_multi_agent_context.py:68 - Description: The
MultiAgentLedgerclass uses a dictionary (self.ledgers) to store ledger instances keyed by agent ID. Theget_agent_ledgermethod creates a new ledger only if the agent ID is not present. If two agents are registered with the same ID, they will share the same ledger instance. This violates the isolation policy and can lead to leakage of sensitive context data (system prompts, conversation history) between agents. - Exploitability: An attacker can register an agent with the same ID as a victim agent to gain access to their ledger. This is particularly dangerous in multi-tena…
