## Overview

### Duplicate Advisory
This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-4gfv-wg42-7jw5. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

### Original Description
PraisonAI (pip package praisonaiagents) before 1.6.78 contains an unsafe dynamic module loading vulnerability in AgentFlow._resolve_pydantic_class (src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/workflows/workflows.py). When a workflow step uses a string output_pydantic reference, the framework locates and imports a sibling tools.py from the workflow file's directory via importlib exec_module without sandboxing, ignoring the PRAISONAI_ALLOW_*_TOOLS environment variables. An attacker who controls a workflow file and its sibling tools.py can execute arbitrary Python code with the workflow runner's privileges when the workflow is executed via WorkflowManager or after load_yaml.

## Affected packages

- `praisonaiagents <= 1.6.77`

## Remediation

Refer to the advisory for the patched release.
