Summary

PraisonAI from 3.8.1 before 4.6.59 has a path traversal flaw (CWE-22) in its Dynamic Context history and terminal tools. The run_id and agent_id arguments are joined into filesystem paths without rejecting absolute paths or .. sequences. A lower-trust user or prompt that can call these tools can read .jsonl and .log files outside the configured Dynamic Context base directory.

Description from the CNA

PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. From version 3.8.1 to before version 4.6.59, PraisonAI's Dynamic Context module provides filesystem-backed history and terminal-log storage. The module also exports agent-callable tool factories. Those tools accept run_id and agent_id arguments from the tool caller. The underlying stores join those values into filesystem paths without rejecting absolute paths or .. traversal. Because run_id can be an absolute path and agent_id can contain traversal, a lower-trust prompt/user that can call these tools can read .jsonl and .log files outside the configured Dynamic Context base directory. This issue has been patched in version 4.6.59.
