DescriptionCVE.org

PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to 4.6.59, the CODE_TOOLS wrappers keep _workspace_root as None and pass workspace=None to read_file, search_replace, and apply_diff helpers that enforce path containment only for a truthy workspace. An application that exposes code_read_file, code_search_replace, or code_apply_diff before set_workspace can therefore let prompt-influenced calls read and modify files outside the intended project directory, while explicitly configured workspaces remain effective. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.6.59.

AnalysisAI

Path traversal in PraisonAI before 4.6.59 allows prompt-influenced calls to code agent tools to read and modify arbitrary files outside any intended project boundary when an application exposes CODE_TOOLS, code_read_file, code_search_replace, or code_apply_diff before calling set_workspace(). The global _workspace_root defaults to None, and the lower-level file helpers silently skip path containment checks when workspace is falsy - a fail-open design identical to a previously patched write_file path (GHSA-hvhp-v2gc-268q). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires three concurrent conditions: (1) the application uses the praisonai package's CODE_TOOLS, code_read_file, code_search_replace, or code_apply_diff agent wrappers; (2) set_workspace() has NOT been called before those tools are exposed to agents - specifically, the module-level _workspace_root remains None; and (3) a user or attacker submits a prompt that causes the agent to invoke one of the file-operation wrappers with a path outside the intended directory. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD-provided CVSS 7.3 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) captures worst-case impact accurately - arbitrary file read and write - but AC:L understates the deployment pre-condition: exploitation requires the application to expose CODE_TOOLS before set_workspace() is called, which the official examples explicitly avoid. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade to PraisonAI 4.6.59, which applies the same fail-closed default (effective_workspace = workspace or os.getcwd()) to read_file, search_replace, and apply_diff that was previously applied only to write_file. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all systems running PraisonAI versions before 4.6.59 and verify whether code agent tools (CODE_TOOLS, code_read_file, code_search_replace, code_apply_diff) are exposed before the set_workspace() security boundary is initialized. …
