CVE-2026-56839

PraisonAI Code agent tools fail open without a workspace boundary

Published Sep 14, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.3 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to 4.6.59, the CODE_TOOLS wrappers keep _workspace_root as None and pass workspace=None to read_file, search_replace, and apply_diff helpers that enforce path containment only for a truthy workspace. An application that exposes code_read_file, code_search_replace, or code_apply_diff before set_workspace can therefore let prompt-influenced calls read and modify files outside the intended project directory, while explicitly configured workspaces remain effective. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.6.59.
