CVE-2026-61447
CRITICAL 10 PoC AVAILABLEPraisonAI before 1.6.78 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in CodeAgent._execute_python() that executes LLM-generated Python code without AST validation, import restrictions, or sandbox enforcement. Attackers can influence LLM output through prompt injection to exfiltrate all environment secrets and execute arbitrary code on the host system.
Public exploit or PoC code exists. Modeled probability is still low, but the barrier to attack is reduced — watch closely.
