Summary

Duplicate Advisory: PraisonAI: AICoder Arbitrary File Write and Command Execution via LLM Tool Calls

Details

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-9mp3-24cc-77mg. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

PraisonAI before 4.6.78 contains arbitrary file write and command execution vulnerabilities in the AICoder component due to missing path validation and command sanitization in LLM tool calls. Attackers can inject malicious prompts through the chat interface to write files to arbitrary filesystem locations and execute arbitrary shell commands with root privileges.
