CVE-2026-61433
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedPraisonAI before 4.6.78 fails to safely encode deployment configuration values when generating Python source code for API servers. Attackers can inject arbitrary Python expressions through the deploy.api.host and agents_file configuration parameters that execute when the generated server starts or handles requests.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidencePraisonAI before 4.6.78 contains a code injection vulnerability in its deployment configuration handling. The application directly embeds configuration values from deploy.api.host and agents_file parameters into generated Python source code for API servers without proper sanitization, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary Python expressions that execute when the generated server starts or processes requests.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check PraisonAI versionRun 'pip show praisonai' or check the installed package version using your package managerAffected if The installed version is earlier than 4.6.78
-
Locate deployment configuration filesSearch for configuration files that may contain 'deploy.api.host' or 'agents_file' parameters, such as config.yaml, .env files, or deployment-specific config filesAffected if Configuration files contain values for deploy.api.host or agents_file parameters
-
Inspect generated API server codeFind any auto-generated Python files for API servers in your deployment directory and examine how deploy.api.host and agents_file values are used in the codeAffected if The generated code directly embeds or interpolates these configuration values without encoding or sanitization
-
Verify input validation on startupReview logs or test the generated server startup process to see if configuration values are passed unsanitized to Python eval, exec, or string formatting functionsAffected if Configuration values are executed or evaluated as Python code without validation
You are affected if running PraisonAI version before 4.6.78 and using deploy.api.host or agents_file configuration parameters that get embedded into generated server code.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade to PraisonAI version 4.6.78 or later which implements safe encoding of deployment configuration values. Until upgraded, ensure configuration parameters are sourced only from trusted inputs.
PraisonAI version 4.6.78
- Check current PraisonAI version using: pip show praisonai or pip list | grep praisonai
- Upgrade PraisonAI to version 4.6.78 or later using: pip install --upgrade praisonai==4.6.78
- Verify the upgrade was successful: pip show praisonai
- If using a requirements.txt or lock file, update the version constraint to praisonai>=4.6.78 and re-run pip install
