CVE-2026-56834 Details
Description
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. From version 3.8.1 to before version 4.6.59, PraisonAI's Dynamic Context Discovery feature exposes artifact helper tools through ctx.get_tools(). The implemented artifact tools do not enforce that the supplied artifact_path is an artifact created by the configured store or that it lives under the configured artifact base directory. Instead, artifact_head, artifact_tail, artifact_grep, and artifact_chunk wrap the caller-supplied path directly into an ArtifactRef and then read it from the host filesystem. As a result, any prompt/user/tool-caller that can influence those tool arguments can read files readable by the PraisonAI process, such as project .env files, cloud credentials, SSH keys, source files, or other local data. This issue has been patched in version 4.6.59.
A vulnerability in PraisonAI's Dynamic Context Discovery feature allows arbitrary file reading from the host filesystem. This issue affects PraisonAI versions 3.8.1 prior to 4.6.59. The vulnerability arises because the artifact helper tools do not validate that the supplied file paths are within the designated artifact storage or are valid artifacts. Instead, the tools directly wrap the provided paths into an ArtifactRef and read them from the filesystem. Consequently, any user or tool that can manipulate these path arguments can access files readable by the PraisonAI process, including sensitive data such as project .env files, cloud credentials, SSH keys, source files, and other local information.
Users can upgrade to PraisonAI version 4.6.59 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
