Description
PraisonAIAgents is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to 1.5.128, he list_files() tool in FileTools validates the directory parameter against workspace boundaries via _validate_path(), but passes the pattern parameter directly to Path.glob() without any validation. Since Python's Path.glob() supports .. path segments, an attacker can use relative path traversal in the glob pattern to enumerate arbitrary files outside the workspace, obtaining file metadata (existence, name, size, timestamps) for any path on the filesystem. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.5.128.
