AI-suggested
A fix is available in PraisonAI version 4.6.9, which addresses this vulnerability by implementing proper command allowlisting and argument validation in the parse_mcp_command() function. Users should upgrade to version 4.6.9 or later to remediate this issue. Since the vendor advisory is not explicitly provided, patch status is inferred from the description stating the issue is patched in 4.6.9. No additional mitigations are specified.
Description
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to version 4.6.9, the fix for PraisonAI's MCP command handling does not add a command allowlist or argument validation to parse_mcp_command(), allowing arbitrary executables like bash, python, or /bin/sh with inline code execution flags to pass through to subprocess execution. This issue has been patched in version 4.6.9.
