Low risk42th percentile - higher than 42% of all known CVEs
Summary
Vulnerability in PraisonAI (versions before 4.6.40) – incomplete fix for previous flaw (CVE-2026-44336). An unauthenticated attacker can read any file on the host (e.g., /etc/passwd, SSH keys) via MCP tools/call to praisonai.workflow.show.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can access sensitive data such as passwords, private keys, and environment variables, potentially leading to full system compromise.
Recommendation
Update PraisonAI to version 4.6.40 or later. Restrict MCP interface access to trusted clients only.

In the multi-agent system PraisonAI prior to version 4.6.37, a vulnerability allows the exploitation of symlinks to write arbitrary data to a chosen location on the victim's filesystem. The issue stems from the lack of validation for member.linkname and not rejecting symlink/hardlink members.
- CVE-2026-57116Critical
In PraisonAI from version 4.2.1 to before 4.6.59, the AgentOS FastAPI deployment surface remains unauthenticated despite the earlier fix for CVE-2026-40151. The chat route directly calls agent.chat(request.message), and both no-auth and wrong-bearer requests execute the deployed agent.
- CVE-2026-57118Critical
In PraisonAI prior to praisonaiagents 1.6.59, AgentTeam.launch and the Agents alias register GET /{path}/list, POST /{path}, and POST /{path}/{agent_id} without access-control checks before listing agents or calling agent.chat. A remotely exposed server can therefore let unauthenticated clients enumerate agents, consume model resources, access connected private context, and trigger agent tools or workflow side effects.
- CVE-2026-62176Critical
PraisonAI prior to version 4.6.78 has a vulnerability in the `deploy/api.py` module that generates Python server code by directly interpolating the `agents_file` parameter into an f-string, which is then written to a file and executed via `subprocess.Popen()`. An attacker who controls the `agents_file` value can inject arbitrary Python code.
- CVE-2026-57148Critical
In PraisonAI prior to 0.1.6, when PLATFORM_JWT_SECRET is unset, the public dev-secret-change-me HS256 signing key is used, and startup and token-issuance guards are disabled because PLATFORM_ENV defaults to dev. An unauthenticated attacker can sign a JWT with an arbitrary sub value that is accepted as an authenticated identity, enabling impersonation of a user or workspace owner.
- CVE-2026-57147Critical
In PraisonAI prior to 0.1.6, when PLATFORM_JWT_SECRET is unset, JWT_SECRET is assigned the public dev-secret-change-me value, and its production guard does not run when PLATFORM_ENV is also unset (defaults to dev). A remote unauthenticated attacker can mint an HS256 token with arbitrary sub and email, which is accepted by AuthService._verify_token() and get_current_user for protected API routes.
- CVE-2026-57141Critical
In PraisonAI prior to 1.7.2, the codeMode tool in src/praisonai-ts/src/tools/builtins/code-mode.ts executes model-generated JavaScript with new Function() and with(sandbox), while a regex blocklist can be bypassed with Function('return this')() to recover the global object and by dynamically constructing the child_process module name. An attacker who can influence the code argument can access host process capabilities, read or write files, obtain environment credentials, and execute OS commands with PraisonAI process privileges.
- CVE-2026-57140Critical
In PraisonAI from 1.6.0 until 1.7.2, AgentOS in src/praisonai-ts/src/os/agentos.ts uses the 0.0.0.0 default from src/praisonai-ts/src/os/config.ts and registers GET /api/agents and POST /api/chat without authentication middleware. A remote caller who can reach the service can obtain agent names, roles, and instruction prefixes and can invoke a selected agent, potentially reaching its tools, memory, external APIs, credentials, and workflow state.
- CVE-2026-57139Critical
In PraisonAI from 1.5.0 until 1.7.2, MCPServer.startHttp() in src/praisonai-ts/src/mcp/server.ts binds without a host restriction and forwards every HTTP POST request to handleRequest() without authentication or authorization. Any network client that can reach the port can call tools/list, tools/call, resources/read, or prompts/get, causing registered handlers to run with server-side credentials and process privileges or disclose registered data.
- CVE-2026-57138Critical
In PraisonAI from 1.4.0 until 1.7.2, codeMode in src/praisonai-ts/src/tools/builtins/code-mode.ts executes untrusted JavaScript with new Function() inside with(sandbox) and relies on a small source-code blocklist plus shadowed process and require properties. Code can use ({}).constructor.constructor to recover the real Function constructor, obtain process and process.mainModule.require, and reach host filesystem and subprocess APIs despite the advertised sandbox. Attackers who control codeMode input can read secrets, modify files, execute commands, or exhaust the host process.
Original NVD description (English source)
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to version 4.6.40, the fix for GHSA-9mqq-jqxf-grvw / CVE-2026-44336 is incomplete. The original advisory description named four vulnerable handlers in `mcp_server/adapters/cli_tools.py`. Commit `68cc9427` ("fix(security): harden MCP rules path handling…") added a `_resolve_rule_path()` helper and applied it to `rules.create`, `rules.show`, and `rules.delete`. `workflow.show` was left unchanged. Two adjacent handlers in the same file have the same pattern, `workflow.validate` and `deploy.validate`. Neither was mentioned in the original advisory. Both remained unchanged. The original advisory also identified the dispatcher (`server.py:281-298`) as a root cause. It accepts unvalidated `**kwargs` from `params["arguments"]` with no enforcement against the tool's declared `input_schema`. That code is unchanged prior to version 4.6.40. A single unauthenticated MCP `tools/call` to `praisonai.workflow.show` returns the contents of any file the host user can read: `/etc/passwd`, `~/.ssh/id_rsa`, `~/.aws/credentials`, or any project `.env`. Version 4.6.40 contains an updated fix.
