AI-suggested
Upgrade PraisonAI to version 4.5.115 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed by disabling dangerous YAML tags during parsing. Until upgraded, restrict access to the API endpoint that accepts agent definition files to trusted users only to reduce exposure.
Description
CVE-2026-39890 is a critical vulnerability in MervinPraison PraisonAI versions prior to 4.5.115. The vulnerability arises from unsafe deserialization of YAML files using the js-yaml library without disabling dangerous tags, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code remotely by uploading malicious agent definition files. This leads to remote code execution on the server hosting the vulnerable application. The issue is fixed in version 4.5.115. No known exploits in the wild have been reported yet.
