Description
CVE-2026-57142 is a high-severity OS command injection vulnerability in MervinPraison PraisonAI versions 4.5.87 up to but not including 4.6.61. The vulnerability arises because the recipe execution policy that blocks dangerous tools only checks tools declared in TEMPLATE.yaml, but the actual workflow execution loads tools from workflow.yaml, allowing untrusted recipes to self-approve critical shell tools without explicit permission. This flaw enables unauthorized execution of shell commands. The issue has been fixed in version 4.6.61.
