{"cve":"CVE-2026-40117","nvd":{"published":"2026-04-09T22:16:35.447","modified":"2026-10-26T22:10:00.163","status":"Analyzed","description":"PraisonAIAgents is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to 1.5.128, read_skill_file() in skill_tools.py allows reading arbitrary files from the filesystem by accepting an unrestricted skill_path parameter. Unlike file_tools.read_file which enforces workspace boundary confinement, and unlike run_skill_script which requires critical-level approval, read_skill_file has neither protection. An agent influenced by prompt injection can exfiltrate sensitive files without triggering any approval prompt. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.5.128.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":7.5},"cwes":["CWE-862"],"references":["https://github.com/MervinPraison/PraisonAI/security/advisories/GHSA-grrg-5cg9-58pf"],"products":["praison:praisonaiagents"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-26T22:26:44.656832877+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-40117","score":0.00338,"percentile":0.27021,"date":"2026-10-26"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-grrg-5cg9-58pf","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-grrg-5cg9-58pf","summary":"PraisonAIAgents: Arbitrary File Read via read_skill_file Missing Workspace Boundary and Approval Gate","modified":"2026-07-13T16:42:57.049311198Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"praisonaiagents","purl":"pkg:pypi/praisonaiagents","ranges":["<1.5.128"],"fixed":["1.5.128"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2026-2949","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2026-2949","summary":"PraisonAIAgents: Arbitrary File Read via read_skill_file Missing Workspace Boundary and Approval Gate","modified":"2026-07-13T16:33:06.714096197Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"praisonaiagents","purl":"pkg:pypi/praisonaiagents","ranges":["<1.5.128"],"fixed":["1.5.128"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
