PraisonAI Unenforced Security Policy Bypass in Subprocess Sandbox

Publication date: 2026-07-15

Last updated on: 2026-07-15

Assigner: VulnCheck

Description
PraisonAI before 4.6.78 contains an unenforced security policy vulnerability in the default Subprocess Sandbox backend where blocked_commands, blocked_paths, blocked_imports, allow_subprocess, and allow_file_write restrictions are completely ignored. Attackers can execute arbitrary subprocess commands, read sensitive files, and perform destructive operations despite explicit security policy configuration.

Executive Summary

PraisonAI before version 4.6.78 has a security flaw where the default Subprocess Sandbox ignores configured security policies. Restrictions like blocked commands, paths, imports, subprocess execution, and file write permissions are not enforced, allowing attackers to bypass intended protections.

Impact Analysis

Attackers can execute arbitrary commands, read sensitive files like /etc/passwd, and perform destructive operations such as deleting files. This bypasses security policies even when explicitly configured, potentially leading to system compromise or data breaches.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized data access or destruction, violating confidentiality and integrity requirements in GDPR and HIPAA. Non-enforcement of security policies may result in compliance failures, legal penalties, and loss of trust.

Detection Guidance

Check PraisonAI version with pip show praisonai or grep version in installed files. Inspect sandbox configuration files like praisonaiagents/sandbox/config.py for SecurityPolicy settings. Test blocked commands or paths manually in a controlled environment to verify if restrictions are enforced.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade PraisonAI to version 4.6.78 or later immediately. Avoid relying on the default SubprocessSandbox backend; switch to a native backend like Landlock or Seatbelt if possible. Review and remove any SecurityPolicy configurations that assume enforcement of blocked commands or paths.

Executive Summary

PraisonAI before version 4.6.78 has a security flaw where the default Subprocess Sandbox ignores configured security policies. Restrictions like blocked commands, paths, imports, subprocess execution, and file writes are not enforced, allowing attackers to bypass intended protections.

Impact Analysis

Attackers could execute arbitrary commands, read sensitive files like /etc/passwd, delete data with commands like rm -rf, or perform other destructive actions even when security policies are configured to block these behaviors.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data access or destruction, violating GDPR's data protection principles or HIPAA's security requirements for safeguarding sensitive information. Non-compliance risks include legal penalties and reputational damage.

Detection Guidance

Check PraisonAI version with pip show praisonai or python -c 'import praisonai; print(praisonai.__version__)'. If version is below 4.6.78, the system is vulnerable. Inspect sandbox configuration files like praisonaiagents/sandbox/config.py for SecurityPolicy settings that are not enforced.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade PraisonAI to version 4.6.78 or later immediately. If upgrading is not possible, switch to a native sandbox backend like Landlock or Seatbelt instead of the default SubprocessSandbox backend to enforce restrictions.
