CVE-2026-62176Public exploitNetwork attack vectorHinoki check available

Code execution via unescaped agents_file interpolation

Published Oct 7, 2026 · Updated Oct 7, 2026

Code injection in PraisonAI before 4.6.78 allows remote authenticated users to execute Python code through a crafted agents_file value. The deploy/api.py generator inserts that value directly into Python source, then writes and launches the generated server with subprocess.Popen(). Exploitation requires control of the deployment input through a CLI argument, configuration, or an upstream API; the injected code runs on the deployment host.
