It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-40287 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- praisonaiagents (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 1.5.140\n- praisonaiagents (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 1.5.140\n- praisonaiagents (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 1.5.140\n- PraisonAI (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 4.5.139\n- praisonai (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 4.5.139\n- praisonai (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 4.5.139\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40287/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40287/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-40287","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40287/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-40287","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g985-wjh9-qxxc","PYSEC-2026-2914","PYSEC-2026-2947"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Python AI agent library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code by placing a malicious tools.py file in the working directory, affecting PraisonAI users.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"praisonai","vendor":"praison"},{"product":"praisonaiagents","vendor":"praison"}],"cvss":{"score":8.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"},{"id":"CWE-426","name":"Untrusted Search Path"}],"description":"PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Versions 4.5.138 and below are vulnerable to arbitrary code execution through automatic, unsanitized import of a tools.py file from the current working directory. Components including call.py (import_tools_from_file()), tool_resolver.py (_load_local_tools()), and CLI tool-loading paths blindly import ./tools.py at startup without any validation, sandboxing, or user confirmation. An attacker who can place a malicious tools.py in the directory where PraisonAI is launched (such as through a shared project, cloned repository, or writable workspace) achieves immediate arbitrary Python code execution in the host environment. This compromises the full PraisonAI process, the host system, and any connected data or credentials.
