SCA: security update for praisonaiagents (GHSA-4gfv-wg42-7jw5)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 473891

Description

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

- PraisonAI (pip package praisonaiagents) before 1.6.78 contains an unsafe dynamic module loading
vulnerability in AgentFlow._resolve_pydantic_class (src/praisonai-
agents/praisonaiagents/workflows/workflows.py). When a workflow step uses a string output_pydantic
reference, the framework locates and imports a sibling tools.py from the workflow file's directory via
importlib exec_module without sandboxing, ignoring the PRAISONAI_ALLOW_*_TOOLS environment variables. An
attacker who controls a workflow file and its sibling tools.py can execute arbitrary Python code with the
workflow runner's privileges when the workflow is executed via WorkflowManager or after load_yaml.
(CVE-2026-61437)

Solution

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