CVE-2026-57133

PraisonAI utility shell safe-command wrapper allowlist bypass via shell chaining

Published: Sep 15, 2026Updated: Sep 16, 2026 Sources: CVE List NVDCWE-78

8.8HIGH

Description

PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. From 1.5.1 until 1.7.2, the shell() helper exported from src/praisonai-ts/src/tools/utility-tools.ts checks only the first whitespace-delimited token against safeCommands and then passes the complete original string to child_process.exec(). A string that starts with an allowed read-only command can append a second non-allowlisted command through shell syntax, allowing arbitrary command execution with the PraisonAI process privileges. This issue is fixed in version 1.7.2.
