GHSA-9mp3-24cc-77mg: PraisonAI: AICoder Arbitrary File Write and Command Execution via LLM Tool Calls

Summary

The AICoder UI component in PraisonAI exposes write_to_file and execute_command tools to the LLM without path validation or command sanitization. Through prompt injection in the chat interface, an attacker can write to arbitrary filesystem locations, such as /root/.ssh/authorized_keys or /etc/crontab, and execute arbitrary shell commands. Docker containers run as root, which increases the impact.

Mitigation
