PraisonAIAgents is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to 1.5.128, the execute_command function in shell_tools.py calls os.path.expandvars() on every command argument at line 64, manually re-implementing shell-level environment variable expansion despite using shell=False (line 88) for security. This allows exfiltration of secrets stored in environment variables (database credentials, API keys, cloud access keys). The approval system displays the unexpanded $VAR references to human reviewers, creating a deceptive approval where the displayed command differs from what actually executes. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.5.128.
AnalysisAI
Environment variable exfiltration in PraisonAIAgents versions prior to 1.5.128 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to steal secrets (database credentials, API keys, cloud access keys) through shell_tools.py execute_command function. The vulnerability leverages deceptive command approval where unexpanded $VAR references shown to human reviewers differ from executed commands containing expanded environment variable values. …
