Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The praisonaiagents package before 1.6.78 is vulnerable to arbitrary Python code execution. When a workflow step uses a string output_pydantic reference, the framework automatically imports and runs a tools.py file located next to the workflow file, without the environment-variable protections used elsewhere. An attacker who can place a workflow file and a matching tools.py in a location the application loads from could run code with the privileges of the workflow process. Upgrade to praisonaiagents 1.6.78 or later.
