GHSA-22cj-m4wf-fv2c: PraisonAI Dynamic Context history and terminal tools read files outside configured storage via path traversal
PraisonAI’s Dynamic Context module provides filesystem-backed history and terminal-log storage. The SDK reference describes the module as providing:
- artifact storage for tool outputs, history, and terminal logs;
- history persistence with search; and
- terminal session logging.
The module also exports agent-callable tool factories:
create_history_tools()returnshistory_search,history_tail, andhistory_get.create_terminal_tools()returnsterminal_tail,terminal_grep, andterminal_commands.
Those tools accept run_id and agent_id arguments from the tool caller. The
underlying stores join those values into filesystem paths without rejecting
absolute paths or .. traversal:
history_dir = self.base_dir / run_id / "history"
return history_dir / f"{agent_id}.jsonl"
terminal_dir = self.base_dir / run_id / "terminal"
return terminal_dir / f"{agent_id}.log"
Because run_id can be an absolute path and agent_id can contain traversal,
a lower-trust prompt/user that can call these tools can read .jsonl and
.log files outside the configured Dynamic Context base directory.
