## Overview

### Duplicate Advisory
This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-m6wp-h223-4c8g. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

### Original Description
PraisonAI (praisonaiagents) before 1.6.78 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in the plugin manager, which loads and executes arbitrary Python (.py) files from project-level and user-home .praisonai/plugins/ directories using importlib spec_from_file_location() and exec_module() without code signing, integrity verification, or sandboxing. An attacker who can write a malicious .py file to a plugin directory (for example via path traversal, a supply chain attack, or a compromised dependency) achieves arbitrary code execution when the plugin system initializes.

## Affected packages

- `praisonaiagents <= 1.6.77`

## Remediation

Refer to the advisory for the patched release.
