CVE-2026-61432Public exploitNetwork attack vector

File disclosure via unchecked FastContext paths

Published Jul 10, 2026 · Updated Jul 10, 2026

Path traversal in PraisonAI before 1.6.78 allows remote authenticated users to read files outside configured FastContext workspaces. FastContextAgent.execute_tool() prefixes only relative paths and fails to canonicalize or verify absolute and joined paths before dispatching read, search, glob, and directory-listing tools. Exploitation requires lower-trust prompt content or a caller to influence tool arguments, and disclosure is limited to process-readable files.
