CVE-2026-61432 Details
Description
PraisonAI (praisonaiagents) before 1.6.78 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the FastContext feature (praisonaiagents.context.fast). FastContextAgent.execute_tool() prepends the configured workspace_path only for relative paths and neither rejects absolute paths nor canonicalizes joined paths before enforcing workspace containment. As a result, tool arguments or model-generated function calls to grep_search, glob_search, read_file, or list_directory can supply absolute paths or '../' traversal sequences to read, search, and enumerate files outside the intended workspace directory, with file contents returned to the caller or injected into the model's tool-result context.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in the FastContext feature of PraisonAI (praisonaiagents) versions prior to 1.6.78. The vulnerability arises because the FastContextAgent.execute_tool() method only prepends the configured workspace path for relative paths. It fails to reject absolute paths or canonicalize joined paths before enforcing workspace containment. Consequently, tool arguments or model-generated function calls can traverse directories or specify absolute paths to access files outside the designated workspace directory. This issue allows the contents of these files to be returned to the caller or injected into the model's tool-result context.
Users can update to PraisonAI version 1.6.78 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
