## Overview

### Duplicate Advisory
This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-q7m5-3jmv-vm48. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

### Original Description
PraisonAI before 4.6.78 contains a path traversal vulnerability in ContextGatherer that fails to validate include paths in .praisoncontext and .praisoninclude files. Attackers can supply absolute paths or parent directory traversal sequences to read arbitrary files outside the workspace and include their contents in the generated context bundle.

## Affected packages

- `praisonai <= 4.6.77`

## Remediation

Refer to the advisory for the patched release.
