Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
PraisonAI's praisonaiagents package, versions before 1.6.78, has a path containment flaw in its FastContext code-search feature. Its search and read tools accept absolute paths and ".." traversal outside the configured workspace, so a caller or model that can influence tool arguments can read, search, and list files outside that workspace; the file contents are returned to the caller or model. Upgrade to praisonaiagents 1.6.78 or later. The source gives no workaround.
