CVE-2026-55527: praisonaiagents vulnerable to arbitrary file write via unsanitized `user_id` in `FileMemory.__init__()` — path traversal to any writable location
praisonaiagents/memory/file_memory.py::FileMemory.__init__() constructs all
memory file paths by directly joining the user_id parameter to a base path:
self.user_path = self.base_path / user_id # LINE 145 — no sanitization
No validation or normalization is applied to user_id before the path join.
An attacker who can supply a user_id containing ../ sequences can write
arbitrary JSON files (memory content) to any writable location on the filesystem.
The vulnerability is confirmed live on the current main branch
(praisonaiagents==1.6.52) and is distinct from GHSA-766v-q9x3-g744
(which covered MultiAgentMonitor in an example file, not FileMemory in the
core library).
