CVE-2026-55540
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to praisonai 4.6.51, is_path_within_directory() uses os.path.abspath() rather than os.path.realpath() for the workspace boundary. A symlink inside workspace can point outside and still pass the check, allowing read_file and other code tools to access files outside the configured workspace. This issue is fixed in version 4.6.58.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L

T1005Data from Local Systemcollection85 % - Impacto secundario
T1565Data Manipulationimpact60 %
Requiere interacción del usuario (UI:R) para abrir/crear archivos con symlinks; la falta de resolución real permite lectura de datos fuera del workspace (CWE-22, path traversal).
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
