How to Fix GHSA-5c3v-h6hw-4gx7

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Duplicate Advisory dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

praisonai fixed: Latest secure release 
pip install praisonai>=Latest secure release
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show praisonai

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by GHSA-5c3v-h6hw-4gx7, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show praisonai

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Duplicate Advisory in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show praisonai command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-693: Protection Mechanism Failure, where the product does not use or incorrectly uses a protection mechanism that provides sufficient defense against directed attacks against the product. In Duplicate Advisory, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-4r3p-w3mc-5v34. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ### Original Description PraisonAI before 4.6.78 contains a prompt injection defense bypass vulnerability where the injection defense only blocks threats classified as CRITICAL, requiring three or more detector families to match simultaneously. Attackers can craft single or double-vector prompt injections that are classified as HIGH threat level and pass through unblocked to reach the model.
