CVE-2026-57145 Details
Description
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to 4.6.62, src/praisonai/praisonai/tools/multiedit.py passes the LLM-controlled filepath parameter directly to open for reading and writing without traversal rejection, symlink resolution, a workspace boundary, or protected-path checks. Prompt-influenced agents can read files through edit and diff behavior or overwrite files accessible to the process, exposing secrets and enabling persistence or application tampering. This issue is fixed in 4.6.62.
A vulnerability in the PraisonAI multi-agent system prior to version 4.6.62 allows for arbitrary file read and write operations through the 'multiedit' tool. The issue arises because the tool passes a file path parameter directly to the 'open' function without proper validation or safeguards. This lack of oversight enables agents, influenced by prompts or workflow configurations, to read sensitive files such as SSH keys or AWS credentials, and overwrite files on the system. The vulnerability is present in all deployments where the 'multiedit' tool is available to agents, including via the PraisonAI CLI or certain chat bot integrations.
Users are advised to update to PraisonAI version 4.6.62 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
