PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. From 1.5.1 until 1.7.2, the shell() helper exported from src/praisonai-ts/src/tools/utility-tools.ts checks only the first whitespace-delimited token against safeCommands and then passes the complete original string to child_process.exec(). A string that starts with an allowed read-only command can append a second non-allowlisted command through shell syntax, allowing arbitrary command execution with the PraisonAI process privileges. This issue is fixed i

A command injection vulnerability exists in PraisonAI, a multi-agent teams system, affecting versions 1.5.1 through 1.7.2. The shell() helper function in utility-tools.ts only validates the first whitespace-delimited token against a safeCommands allowlist before passing the full string to child_process.exec(). This flaw allows an attacker to append arbitrary shell commands after an allowlisted read-only command using shell syntax. Exploitation grants arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the PraisonAI process. The vulnerability is located in src/praisonai-ts/src/tools/utility-tools.ts. A fix has been released in version 1.7.2. Users are advised to upgrade immediately to mitigate the risk of unauthorized command execution.
