CVE-2026-57145
PraisonAI: Arbitrary File Read/Write via `multiedit` Tool Without Path Validation
Description
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to 4.6.62, src/praisonai/praisonai/tools/multiedit.py passes the LLM-controlled filepath parameter directly to open for reading and writing without traversal rejection, symlink resolution, a workspace boundary, or protected-path checks. Prompt-influenced agents can read files through edit and diff behavior or overwrite files accessible to the process, exposing secrets and enabling persistence or application tampering. This issue is fixed in 4.6.62.
