Path Traversal in praisonaiagents (CVE-2026-60089)
Summary
Path traversal in praisonaiagents (CVE-2026-60089). Data can be tampered with by attackers. Exploitable via praisonaiagents. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.6.78 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
PraisonAI (pip package praisonaiagents) before 1.6.78 automatically loads defaults from a project-local .praisonai/config.toml when constructing an Agent, and does not validate the defaults.output.output_file path. A repository-controlled config file can set output_file to an absolute or '..' traversal path; when the developer subsequently calls agent.start() without explicitly passing an output parameter, PraisonAI writes the agent response to that path (creating parent directories as needed), allowing an untrusted checked-out project to overwrite files outside the project root with the privileges of the user running PraisonAI.
