CVE-2026-40152 Details
Description
PraisonAIAgents is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to 1.5.128, he list_files() tool in FileTools validates the directory parameter against workspace boundaries via _validate_path(), but passes the pattern parameter directly to Path.glob() without any validation. Since Python's Path.glob() supports .. path segments, an attacker can use relative path traversal in the glob pattern to enumerate arbitrary files outside the workspace, obtaining file metadata (existence, name, size, timestamps) for any path on the filesystem. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.5.128.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in the PraisonAIAgents multi-agent system, specifically in versions prior to 1.5.128. The issue arises in the list_files() tool within the FileTools module, where the directory parameter is validated against workspace boundaries, but the pattern parameter is passed directly to Path.glob() without any validation. This oversight allows for relative path traversal using .. segments in the glob pattern, enabling an attacker to enumerate files outside the designated workspace and access file metadata such as existence, name, size, and timestamps for any path on the filesystem.
Users are advised to update to PraisonAIAgents version 1.5.128 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
