SCA: security update for PraisonAI (GHSA-9cr9-25q5-8prj)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442492

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to version 4.6.40, the fix for GHSA-9mqq-jqxf-grvw /
 CVE-2026-44336 is incomplete. The original advisory description named four vulnerable handlers in
 `mcp_server/adapters/cli_tools.py`. Commit `68cc9427` ("fix(security): harden MCP rules path handling…")
 added a `_resolve_rule_path()` helper and applied it to `rules.create`, `rules.show`, and `rules.delete`.
 `workflow.show` was left unchanged. Two adjacent handlers in the same file have the same pattern,
 `workflow.validate` and `deploy.validate`. Neither was mentioned in the original advisory. Both remained
 unchanged. The original advisory also identified the dispatcher (`server.py:281-298`) as a root cause. It
 accepts unvalidated `**kwargs` from `params["arguments"]` with no enforcement against the tool's declared
 `input_schema`. That code is unchanged prior to version 4.6.40. A single unauthenticated MCP `tools/call`
 to `praisonai.workflow.show` returns the contents of any file the host user can read: `/etc/passwd`,
 `~/.ssh/id_rsa`, `~/.aws/credentials`, or any project `.env`. Version 4.6.40 contains an updated fix.
 (CVE-2026-47394)

Solution

Update the PraisonAI library and its related packages to version 4.6.40 or later.
