CVE-2026-40157

EUVD-2026-21509

10.04.2026, 17:17

PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to 4.5.128, cmd_unpack in the recipe CLI extracts .praison tar archives using raw tar.extract() without validating archive member paths. A .praison bundle containing ../../ entries will write files outside the intended output directory. An attacker who distributes a malicious bundle can overwrite arbitrary files on the victim's filesystem when they run praisonai recipe unpack. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.5.128.

CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
