Exploitation Conditions

PraisonAI versions prior to 4.5.128. Attacker crafts malicious template file hosted remotely. Victim must trigger remote template fetch/load in PraisonAI application. No authentication required. Supply chain attack via compromised or attacker-controlled template source.

Impact

CVSS 9.3 reflects unauthenticated network exploitation with user interaction. Remotely fetched templates execute without validation, enabling supply chain compromise. High impact on confidentiality and integrity across systems using PraisonAI. No EPSS/KEV data available. Priority depends on deployment scope and template source control maturity in target environments.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

Attacker hosts malicious template file on accessible server. User or automated system fetches template via PraisonAI without verification. Malicious code executes in application context with full privileges. User interaction required (template load trigger).

AnalysisAIv1 – Apr 09, 2026

Remote code execution in PraisonAI multi-agent framework (versions prior to 4.5.128) allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via malicious template files fetched from remote sources. The framework downloads and executes template files without integrity verification, origin validation, or user confirmation, creating a supply chain attack vector. Attackers with network access can distribute weaponized templates that execute when retrieved by victims, achieving high confidentiality and integrity compromise with scope change. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade to PraisonAI version 4.5.128 or later, which implements integrity verification for remote templates. Organizations should immediately update to the fixed version via standard package manager (pip install --upgrade praisonai). Until patching is complete, disable remote template fetching functionality if operationally feasible, restrict template sources to trusted internal repositories only, and implement network-level controls to prevent outbound template retrieval. Review recent template usage logs for indicators of compromise.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CWE-829 (Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere) flaw in PraisonAI's template handling mechanism. System directly executes remotely sourced template content without cryptographic signature verification or origin allowlist enforcement. CVSS:3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C indicates network-exploitable with user interaction requirement, enabling cross-scope compromise when victim retrieves attacker-controlled template.

DescriptionGitHub Advisory

PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to 4.5.128, PraisonAI treats remotely fetched template files as trusted executable code without integrity verification, origin validation, or user confirmation, enabling supply chain attacks through malicious templates. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.5.128.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

PraisonAI multi-agent framework versions prior to 4.5.128 contain a critical remote code execution vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code by distributing malicious template files. Organizations using PraisonAI are exposed to supply chain compromise where templates downloaded and executed by the framework can be weaponized to breach system integrity and data confidentiality. With no vendor patch currently available, immediate isolation of affected systems is required to prevent potential lateral movement and data exfiltration.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict PraisonAI framework network access to trusted internal networks only; (2) Implement strict URL whitelisting for template sources with manual review of all template URLs before execution; (3) Disable remote template fetching where operationally feasible and use only pre-validated, locally-stored templates; (4) Monitor PraisonAI process execution and network connections for anomalous behavior; (5) Maintain isolated test environments for PraisonAI validation separate from production systems; (6) Monitor vendor advisories and CISA KEV for patch release notification.
