CVE-2026-57117
PraisonAI: Compute-bridged file tools allow shell command injection
Description
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. From version 4.6.10 to before version 4.6.59, LocalManagedAgent / SandboxedAgent compute bridging wraps read_file, list_files, and write_file when a compute provider is attached. The bridge converts those file operations into shell command strings using raw path arguments, then sends those strings to shell-backed compute providers. An attacker who can influence a file-tool path argument can break out of the quoted path and execute arbitrary shell commands in the compute environment. With compute="local", commands execute through the local subprocess compute provider on the host. With Docker, commands execute in the container. This issue has been patched in version 4.6.59.

Solution
- Use provider-native file APIs instead of shell commands.
- Pass arguments as structured argv where supported.
- Preserve file path validation for bridged tools.
- Remove file tools from compute bridged list.
