Summary

PraisonAI versions before 4.6.78 are affected. The deploy/api.py module inserts the agents_file value directly into an f-string that is written to a Python file and run with subprocess.Popen(), a code injection flaw (CWE-94). An attacker who controls agents_file through a CLI argument, configuration or an upstream API can run arbitrary Python code.

Description from the CNA

PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to version 4.6.78, the `deploy/api.py` module generates Python server code by directly interpolating the `agents_file` parameter into an f-string that is then written to a file and executed via `subprocess.Popen()`. An attacker who controls the `agents_file` value (via CLI argument, configuration, or upstream API) can inject arbitrary Python code. Version 4.6.78 patches the issue.
