DescriptionGitHub Advisory

PraisonAIAgents is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to 1.5.128, read_skill_file() in skill_tools.py allows reading arbitrary files from the filesystem by accepting an unrestricted skill_path parameter. Unlike file_tools.read_file which enforces workspace boundary confinement, and unlike run_skill_script which requires critical-level approval, read_skill_file has neither protection. An agent influenced by prompt injection can exfiltrate sensitive files without triggering any approval prompt. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.5.128.

AnalysisAI

PraisonAIAgents versions prior to 1.5.128 allow unauthenticated local attackers to read arbitrary files from the filesystem via the read_skill_file() function in skill_tools.py, which lacks the workspace boundary protections and approval requirements enforced by comparable file access functions. An agent subjected to prompt injection can exfiltrate sensitive files without user awareness or approval prompts, enabling confidentiality compromise with CVSS 6.2 (local attack vector, high confidentiality impact). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Risk Assessment The CVSS 6.2 score reflects the local attack vector (AV:L) and high confidentiality impact (C:H), but real-world risk is modulated by multiple factors. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts a malicious prompt that injects instructions into a PraisonAIAgents instance, causing the agent to invoke read_skill_file() with a path parameter pointing to a sensitive file (e.g., /etc/passwd, environment variable files, or application secrets) outside the intended workspace directory. Because read_skill_file() does not validate the skill_path parameter or enforce workspace boundaries, the agent successfully reads the file and returns its contents to the attacker, either through the agent's output channel or via exfiltration. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: PraisonAIAgents version 1.5.128 and later. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
