Technical summary

The vulnerability exists due to a lack of validation of file path references in custom command templates in PraisonAI before version 4.6.78. Attackers can exploit this by including path traversal sequences like @../outside_secret.txt or absolute paths in project command files to exfiltrate process-readable files into model prompts. This could potentially lead to the exfiltration of sensitive information. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.8 and a severity of MEDIUM. Users of PraisonAI before version 4.6.78 should be aware of this vulnerability and take steps to mitigate it, such as updating to version 4.6.78 or later, restricting access to project command files, and monitoring for suspicious activity. Operators, platform administrators, vulnerability management teams, and security teams may be impacted by this vulnerability. The CVE record was published on 2026-07-11T14:16:22.210Z and has not been modified since then. The NVD entry is currently Received.
