{"id":"CVE-2026-40117","state":"PUBLISHED","title":"PraisonAIAgents Affected by Arbitrary File Read via read_skill_file Missing Workspace Boundary and Approval Gate","description":"PraisonAIAgents is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to 1.5.128, read_skill_file() in skill_tools.py allows reading arbitrary files from the filesystem by accepting an unrestricted skill_path parameter. Unlike file_tools.read_file which enforces workspace boundary confinement, and unlike run_skill_script which requires critical-level approval, read_skill_file has neither protection. An agent influenced by prompt injection can exfiltrate sensitive files without triggering any approval prompt.
