Local file write to attacker-controlled recipe directory required (AV:L); no PraisonAI credentials needed (PR:N); victim must actively invoke the malicious include (UI:R); full code execution yields C:H/I:H/A:H.

3DescriptionCVE.org
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. In versions 3.9.26 through 4.6.57 of praiseonai and 0.12.12 through 1.6.57 of praiseonaiagents, the workflow "include" feature is vulnerable to code execution. Workflow._execute_include() implicitly imports and runs an included recipe's tools.py via a raw importlib.util.spec_from_file_location() and spec.loader.exec_module() call, without honoring the PRAISONAI_ALLOW_TEMPLATE_TOOLS/PRAISONAI_ALLOW_LOCAL_TOOLS autoload opt-in gates or routing through the centralized safe loader that protects the other tools.py autoload paths. As a result, a workflow that includes an attacker-controlled local recipe directory executes arbitrary module-level Python code during include setup, before any child workflow parsing or model call, and the same sink is reachable through the higher-level praisonai.recipe.run() recipe API. An attacker who can cause a victim process to run a workflow or recipe that includes an untrusted local recipe achieves arbitrary Python code execution as the PraisonAI process user, a variant that bypasses the hardening applied to the previously disclosed automatic tools.py RCE advisory family. This issue has been fixed in version 4.6.58 of praisonai and 1.6.58 of praisonaiagents.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary Python code execution in PraisonAI's workflow include feature allows an attacker who controls a local recipe directory to execute arbitrary code as the PraisonAI process user. Affected are praisonai 3.9.26-4.6.57 and praisonaiagents 0.12.12-1.6.57. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires two concurrent conditions: first, the attacker must be able to place or manipulate a tools.py file in a local recipe directory accessible to the target host's filesystem (e.g., through a shared mount, a cloned untrusted repository, or a prior write primitive); second, a victim operator or automated pipeline must invoke a PraisonAI workflow or call praisonai.recipe.run() with an include directive referencing that attacker-controlled directory (UI:R per CVSS). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) accurately reflects a local code-injection primitive that requires the victim operator to actively run a workflow referencing an attacker-controlled recipe directory - hence UI:R and AV:L. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who can write a malicious tools.py to a directory on the target host - for example via a compromised shared filesystem, a social-engineering lure that tricks an operator into cloning an attacker-controlled repository, or a prior low-privilege foothold - crafts module-level Python code (e.g., a reverse shell or credential harvester) in that file. When the victim operator runs any PraisonAI workflow or recipe that includes the attacker-controlled directory, Workflow._execute_include() unconditionally imports and executes the malicious tools.py before any other workflow processing, achieving arbitrary code execution as the PraisonAI process user. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade praisonai to version 4.6.58 or later and praisonaiagents to version 1.6.58 or later, per the vendor advisory at https://github.com/MervinPraison/PraisonAI/security/advisories/GHSA-hxmv-c4g6-5fqc. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: identify all systems running praisonai 3.9.26-4.6.57 or praisonaiagents 0.12.12-1.6.57, and audit filesystem write permissions on recipe directories to determine exposure. …
