Attack profile from CVSS 4.0 · CNA. Fix status from CNA and GitHub. Impact type from CWE-22 and the CVSS impact.
Summary
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to 1.5.113, _validate_path() calls os.path.normpath() first, which collapses .. sequences, then checks for '..' in normalized. Since .. is already collapsed, the check always passes. This makes the check completely useless and allows trivial path traversal to any file on the system. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.5.113.
