SCA: security update for praisonaiagents (GHSA-qjw5-xwrp-xwpq)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473888

Description

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

 - PraisonAI (pip package praisonaiagents) before 1.6.78 automatically loads defaults from a project-local
 .praisonai/config.toml when constructing an Agent, and does not validate the defaults.output.output_file
 path. A repository-controlled config file can set output_file to an absolute or '..' traversal path; when
 the developer subsequently calls agent.start() without explicitly passing an output parameter, PraisonAI
 writes the agent response to that path (creating parent directories as needed), allowing an untrusted
 checked-out project to overwrite files outside the project root with the privileges of the user running
 PraisonAI. (CVE-2026-60089)

Solution

Update the praisonaiagents library and its related packages to version 1.6.78 or later.
