Local vector and required user interaction reflect session-scope exploitation with mandatory initial approval; PR:N because no OS account privileges are needed to influence agent arguments; I:H for arbitrary file write capability.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
PraisonAI before 1.6.78 caches tool approval decisions by tool name only, allowing attackers to reuse initial approvals for subsequent calls with arbitrary arguments. Attackers can exploit this by obtaining approval for a benign operation and then executing dangerous file write operations with unreviewed parameters in the same session.
AnalysisAI
PraisonAI's tool approval caching mechanism in versions before 1.6.78 allows an attacker who influences an AI agent's behavior within a session to bypass human-in-the-loop oversight by reusing a single user-granted approval across tool calls with entirely different, unreviewed arguments. The flaw (CWE-863: Incorrect Authorization) directly undermines the security boundary that tool approval is designed to enforce, enabling arbitrary file write operations after approval of a benign operation. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that: (1) the target deployment runs PraisonAI in a version earlier than 1.6.78 with the tool approval caching feature active; (2) a legitimate user has granted approval for at least one invocation of the targeted tool by name within the current session - this is the mandatory user interaction prerequisite reflected in the CVSS UI:P metric; and (3) the attacker can influence the AI agent's tool call argument construction within that same session, most practically through prompt injection or adversarial user inputs. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:H/VA:L) places this squarely in the local-interaction threat model: exploitation is constrained to an active session and requires that a legitimate user has already granted at least one tool approval (UI:P). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with the ability to inject adversarial instructions into an AI agent's prompt within a PraisonAI session first engineers the agent to request a harmless invocation of a file-writing tool - for example, writing to a temporary log path - and waits for the user to approve it. With the tool name now cached as approved, the attacker then crafts a second agent action using the same tool name but targeting a sensitive file path with malicious content, which executes immediately without any additional user review. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade PraisonAI to version 1.6.78 or later, which corrects the approval cache to evaluate tool name and argument payload together, preventing approval reuse across distinct invocations. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
