CVE-2026-34937

PraisonAI: Shell Injection in run_python() via Unescaped $() Substitution

Published Apr 3, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.8 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to version 1.5.90, run_python() in praisonai constructs a shell command string by interpolating user-controlled code into python3 -c "<code>" and passing it to subprocess.run(..., shell=True). The escaping logic only handles \ and ", leaving $() and backtick substitutions unescaped, allowing arbitrary OS command execution before Python is invoked. This issue has been patched in version 1.5.90.
