CVE-2026-56834
Published:July 20, 2026
Updated:August 27, 2026
PraisonAI's Dynamic Context Discovery feature exposes artifact helper tools through "ctx.get_tools()": The official documentation describes these helpers as a way for the agent to explore large tool-output artifacts that were queued by the middleware: - large tool outputs are saved as artifacts; - the agent receives compact artifact references; and - the agent uses "artifact_tail" and "artifact_grep" to explore that data. The implemented artifact tools do not enforce that the supplied "artifact_path" is an artifact created by the configured store or that it lives under the configured artifact base directory. Instead, "artifact_head", "artifact_tail", "artifact_grep", and "artifact_chunk" wrap the caller-supplied path directly into an "ArtifactRef" and then read it from the host filesystem. As a result, any prompt/user/tool-caller that can influence those tool arguments can read files readable by the PraisonAI process, such as project ".env" files, cloud credentials, SSH keys, source files, or other local data.
