PraisonAI before 4.6.78 contains a path traversal vulnerability in ContextGatherer that fails to validate include paths in .praisoncontext and .praisoninclude files. Attackers can supply absolute paths or parent directory traversal sequences to read arbitrary files outside the workspace and include their contents in the generated context bundle.
AnalysisAI
Path traversal in PraisonAI's ContextGatherer component (all versions before 4.6.78) allows an attacker who can supply or manipulate .praisoncontext or .praisoninclude files to read arbitrary files outside the intended workspace directory, including sensitive system files accessible to the user running PraisonAI. The vulnerability stems from a complete absence of path validation before file inclusion, permitting both absolute paths and relative traversal sequences. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that a victim run PraisonAI's ContextGatherer against a workspace containing a .praisoncontext or .praisoninclude file that has been planted or modified by the attacker to include absolute paths or parent-directory traversal sequences. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.8 (Medium) reflects a meaningful but constrained threat. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker embeds a malicious .praisoninclude file containing an absolute path such as /etc/passwd or a traversal sequence like ../../../../home/user/.ssh/id_rsa in a shared project repository or contributed workspace. When a developer or automated CI pipeline runs PraisonAI context gathering against that repository, ContextGatherer reads and incorporates the sensitive file contents into the generated context bundle, which may then be transmitted to an external AI API endpoint, written to logs, or returned to the attacker if they control the downstream context consumer. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade PraisonAI to version 4.6.78 or later; this is the vendor-confirmed fix version per the CVE description. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
