Original description

PraisonAI versions before 4.6.78 contain an allowlist bypass vulnerability in shell command execution that allows attackers to execute restricted commands via find's built-in -exec, -execdir, and -delete actions. Attackers can craft find commands with these built-in actions to read blocked files, delete files, or execute non-allowlisted binaries without triggering shell metacharacter filters.
