Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
PraisonAI versions before 4.6.78 can let an attacker manipulate a vector “dimension” value during collection creation. If exposed, this could alter database commands against PGVector or Cassandra-backed knowledge stores, risking data theft, corruption, or service disruption.
Executive priority
Treat as urgent for PraisonAI deployments using PGVector or Cassandra where collection creation is reachable. The vulnerability can affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability of backing databases. Prioritize patching and access restriction.
Technical view
CVE-2026-60090 is CWE-89 SQL/CQL injection in PraisonAI create_collection() logic for PGVector and Cassandra knowledge-store backends. The dimension argument is declared as an integer but not enforced at runtime and is interpolated into generated CREATE TABLE DDL. CVSS 3.1 is 9.8: network, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction.
Likely exposure
Highest exposure exists where untrusted users, tenants, agents, or API clients can influence knowledge-store collection creation dimensions in PraisonAI before 4.6.78 using PGVector or Cassandra backends.
Exploitation context
The provided sources describe a caller-controlled injection path and critical CVSS score. They do not show known active exploitation, and the CVE is not marked KEV in the supplied data.
Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to the CVE record, GitHub advisory, patch reference, and VulnCheck advisory. The issue is specifically the dimension value in generated DDL, despite validation of schema, keyspace, and collection names. No public exploitation evidence is provided in the supplied sources.
Mitigation direction
- Upgrade PraisonAI to 4.6.78 or later per the advisory.
- Restrict collection-creation capability to trusted administrators until patched.
- Ensure dimension values are strictly validated as integers before use.
- Review vendor advisory and patch commit for implementation details.
Validation and detection
- Inventory PraisonAI deployments and confirm versions are below or at least 4.6.78.
- Identify use of PGVector or Cassandra knowledge-store backends.
- Check whether external users or tenants can influence collection dimensions.
- Confirm patched code enforces integer dimension handling.
- Review database audit logs for unexpected collection or table DDL activity.
