CVE-2026-57129 PUBLISHED

PraisonAI: Arbitrary File Read via `@file:` Mention Path Traversal

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 24.06.2026 Published: 14.09.2026 Updated: 14.09.2026

PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to praisonaiagents 1.6.59, MentionsParser._process_file_mention accepts file-mention values and falls back from workspace-relative resolution to Path(file_path) without traversal, symlink, or workspace-boundary validation. Prompt input from users, bots, or workflows can therefore read arbitrary files accessible to the process, including credentials, keys, environment files, source code, and system configuration. This issue is fixed in praisonaiagents 1.6.59.
