## Overview

### Duplicate Advisory
This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-qjw5-xwrp-xwpq. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

### Original Description
PraisonAI (pip package praisonaiagents) before 1.6.78 automatically loads defaults from a project-local .praisonai/config.toml when constructing an Agent, and does not validate the defaults.output.output_file path. A repository-controlled config file can set output_file to an absolute or '..' traversal path; when the developer subsequently calls agent.start() without explicitly passing an output parameter, PraisonAI writes the agent response to that path (creating parent directories as needed), allowing an untrusted checked-out project to overwrite files outside the project root with the privileges of the user running PraisonAI.

## Affected packages

- `praisonaiagents <= 1.6.77`

## Remediation

Refer to the advisory for the patched release.
