Project custom command templates can read outside-workspace files into model prompts Summary PraisonAI's new file-based custom command feature auto-discovers project commands from .praisonai/commands/.md. When a user runs praisonai run --command <name inside a repository, the command body is interpolated before it is sent as the model prompt. The interpolation code expands @path references by reading files relative to the current working directory, but it does not canonicalize the target or require it to stay inside the project. A repository-controlled command can therefore include @../outsidesecret.txt or an absolute path and cause PraisonAI to copy process-readable files outside the workspace into the prompt. This is a confidentiality issue in the untrusted-repository workflow: a project can make a normal-looking custom command exfiltrate local files to whichever model/provider receives the generated prompt. Technical Details The feature was introduced by commit 88cf0c29 (feat:…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-60088

Advisory: PraisonAI: Project custom command templates can read outside-workspace files into model prompts
IDs: CVE-2026-60088, GHSA-xpx6-x8c2-mw5w
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-60088 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 13:55 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: praisonai 4.6.78. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- PyPI praisonai: affected <= 4.6.77; fixed in 4.6.78

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `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 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.
