Unauthenticated file disclosure via unchecked agent_file path
Published Sep 14, 2026 · Updated Sep 14, 2026
Path traversal in the PraisonAI Jobs API before 4.6.59 allows remote attackers to read server files through agent_file. The JobSubmitRequest model accepts absolute or traversing agent_file values without validation, and the executor passes the path directly to yaml.safe_load(open(agent_file)). Any caller that can reach the unauthenticated Jobs API can expose credentials, private keys, environment variables, and other files readable by the service account.
