Path Traversal in praisonaiagents (CVE-2026-61432)
Summary
Path traversal in praisonaiagents (CVE-2026-61432). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via praisonaiagents.context.fast. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.6.78 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the 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.
