Story map
At a glance
praisonaiagents: Red, act today. CodeAgent._execute_python() executes LLM-generated Python code in a subprocess with the complete parent-process environment (os.environ.copy()), zero AST validation, zero import restrictions, and no sandbox enforcement — even when CodeConfig(sandbox=True) is explicitly set. This allows an attacker who can influence LL…

Original description
PraisonAI (praisonaiagents) before 1.6.78 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in the plugin manager, which loads and executes arbitrary Python (.py) files from project-level and user-home .praisonai/plugins/ directories using importlib spec_from_file_location() and exec_module() without code signing, integrity verification, or sandboxing. An attacker who can write a malicious .py file to a plugin directory (for example via path traversal, a supply chain attack, or a compromised dependency) achieves arbitrary code execution when the plugin system initializes.
