What is CVE-2026-61446?
CVE-2026-61446 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in MervinPraison PraisonAI, published on 15 Jul 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official 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.
Weakness: CWE-94
