## Overview

### Duplicate Advisory
This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-4xxv-6wmf-xf45. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

### Original Description
PraisonAI (praisonaiagents) before 1.6.78 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the FastContext feature (praisonaiagents.context.fast). FastContextAgent.execute_tool() prepends the configured workspace_path only for relative paths and neither rejects absolute paths nor canonicalizes joined paths before enforcing workspace containment. As a result, tool arguments or model-generated function calls to grep_search, glob_search, read_file, or list_directory can supply absolute paths or '../' traversal sequences to read, search, and enumerate files outside the intended workspace directory, with file contents returned to the caller or injected into the model's tool-result context.

## Affected packages

- `praisonaiagents <= 1.6.77`

## Remediation

Refer to the advisory for the patched release.
