Published by the GitHub Advisory Database at 25 Aug 2026, 14:15 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Affected packages

- `praisonaiagents` (PyPI): affected `>=0.12.12, <1.6.58`; fixed in `1.6.58`
- `praisonai` (PyPI): affected `>=3.9.26, <4.6.58`; fixed in `4.6.58`

## Machine-written summary

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

> PraisonAI (praisonaiagents >=0.12.12, <1.6.58, and praisonai >=3.9.26, <4.6.58) runs a recipe's tools.py during workflow include, even when the tools.py autoload opt-in settings are unset. An attacker who can get a victim process to run a workflow that includes an attacker-controlled local recipe directory can execute arbitrary Python code as the PraisonAI process user. Upgrade praisonaiagents to 1.6.58 and praisonai to 4.6.58; no workaround is listed.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-hxmv-c4g6-5fqc>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
