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, can write agent output to a path set in a project's .praisonai/config.toml, including absolute paths or paths using ".." to leave the project root. An attacker who can supply a repository that a developer runs agent code from can overwrite files outside that project with the privileges of the user running PraisonAI. Upgrade praisonaiagents to version 1.6.78 or later.
