CVE-2026-61431
PraisonAI before 4.6.78 contains a path traversal vulnerability in ContextGatherer that fails to validate include paths in .praisoncontext and .praisoninclude files.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.37%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
PraisonAI before 4.6.78 contains a path traversal vulnerability in ContextGatherer that fails to validate include paths in .praisoncontext and .praisoninclude files. Attackers can supply absolute paths or parent directory traversal sequences to read arbitrary files outside the workspace and include their contents in the generated context bundle.
