Quick assessment

Affected
MervinPraison PraisonAI
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Mervin Praison PraisonAI是Mervin Praison个人开发者开源的一个低代码多智能体协作框架。 Mervin Praison PraisonAI 4.6.58之前版本存在路径遍历漏洞，该漏洞源于使用os.path.abspath而非os.path.realpath进行工作区边界检查，导致符号链接可指向工作区外部并绕过检查，可能允许访问工作区外的文件。

Vulnerability Title
PraisonAI: [Path Traversal] agent tools escape the configured workspace via symlinks
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to praisonai 4.6.51, is_path_within_directory() uses os.path.abspath() rather than os.path.realpath() for the workspace boundary. A symlink inside workspace can point outside and still pass the check, allowing read_file and other code tools to access files outside the configured workspace. This issue is fixed in version 4.6.58.
