Upgrade PraisonAI to version 4.6.59 or later, where the dangerous tool policy check is enforced consistently across all execution paths, including recipe.run_stream(). No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

CVE-2026-56838 is an OS command injection vulnerability in MervinPraison's PraisonAI affecting versions from 4.5.87 up to but not including 4.6.59. The issue arises because the streaming execution path recipe.run_stream() bypasses the dangerous tool policy check that is enforced in the normal recipe.run() path. This allows execution of commands that should be denied unless explicitly allowed, potentially leading to high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability has been patched in version 4.6.59.
