CVE-2026-40153 PyPI HIGH PATCH GHSA This Week

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. Requires user interaction. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
