MEDIUM 6.5

PraisonAI: ReDoS via Unvalidated User-Controlled Regex in MCPToolIndex.search_tools()

CVSS Score
6.5
EPSS Score
0.0%
EPSS Percentile
12th

PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to version 4.5.90, MCPToolIndex.search_tools() compiles a caller-supplied string directly as a Python regular expression with no validation, sanitization, or timeout. A crafted regex causes catastrophic backtracking in the re engine, blocking the Python thread for hundreds of seconds and causing a complete service outage. This issue has been patched in version 4.5.90.
