CVE-2026-40157 PUBLISHED

PraisonAI affected by arbitrary file write via path traversal in `praisonai recipe unpack`

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 09.04.2026 Published: 10.04.2026 Updated: 10.04.2026

PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to 4.5.128, cmd_unpack in the recipe CLI extracts .praison tar archives using raw tar.extract() without validating archive member paths. A .praison bundle containing ../../ entries will write files outside the intended output directory. An attacker who distributes a malicious bundle can overwrite arbitrary files on the victim's filesystem when they run praisonai recipe unpack. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.5.128.
