PraisonAI: Arbitrary file write via unsanitized `user_id` in `FileMemory.__init__()` — path traversal to any writable location

Published Aug 25, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.1 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to praisonaiagents 1.6.58, the FileMemory constructor joins unsanitized user_id into self.user_path. A caller supplying ../ or path separators can escape the memory directory and write JSON data to arbitrary process-writable locations. The fix sanitizes user_id before constructing self.user_path. This issue is fixed in version 1.6.58.
