Disclosure summary

# FastContext path resolution permits absolute and traversal reads outside the workspace ## Summary PraisonAI's `praisonaiagents.context.fast` FastContext feature treats `workspace_path` as the root directory for code search, but its model-facing search tools and high-level `read_context()` helper accept absolute paths and `..` traversal paths without checking that the resolved path remains under that workspace. A lower-trust prompt or caller that can influence FastContext tool arguments can read, search, and enumerate files outside the intended project workspace; the resulting file content is then returned to the caller or injected into the model's tool-result context. ## Technical Details `FastContextAgent` documents `workspace_path` as the "Root directory for searches" and stores it as an absolute path: ```python class FastContextAgent: """Specialized agent for fast parallel code search. Attributes: workspace_path: Root directory for searches """ def __init__(self, workspace_path: str, ...): self.workspace_path = os.path.abspath(workspace_path) ``` The same class exposes `grep_search`, `glob_search`, `read_file`, and `list_directory` as model function-call tools via `get_tools()
