• CVE-2026-47395: 0.18% estimated exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 7.95 (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-03). This is a model estimate, not proof of exploitation or customer exposure.

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Summary PraisonAI's direct-prompt CLI automatically expands @url: mentions in raw prompt text before agent execution begins. If a prompt contains @url:<http-or-https-url, the CLI calls MentionsParser.process(...). The @url: handler then performs a direct urllib.request.urlopen() request to the attacker-controlled URL and returns the response body. That response body is prepended to the final model prompt context. There is no loopback/private-address restriction, no metadata-service restriction, and no approval gate before the fetch. As a result, attacker-influenced prompt text can cause the operator's machine to fetch localhost-only HTTP resources and inject the response into model context. Example: This causes PraisonAI to make an HTTP request to the local machine and prepend the fetched response body to the prompt that the model receives. This is a narrow local SSRF / local content disclosure issue in automatic prompt preprocessing. It is not a remote server takeover. Details The…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-47395

Advisory: PraisonAI CLI automatically resolves @url mentions in prompt text and can read loopback URLs into model context
IDs: CVE-2026-47395, GHSA-5cxw-77wg-jrf3
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-47395 (revision 2, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 13:41 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.5)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: praisonaiagents 1.6.40; praisonai 4.6.40. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- PyPI praisonaiagents: affected <= 1.6.39; fixed in 1.6.40
- PyPI praisonai: affected <= 4.6.39; fixed in 4.6.40

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `python -m pip show praisonaiagents`: prints the installed version. Run with the environment that serves production active.
- `python -m pip show praisonai`: prints the installed version. Run with the environment that serves production active.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on praisonaiagents, praisonai.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
