DescriptionGitHub Advisory

PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to 4.5.128, the /media-stream WebSocket endpoint in PraisonAI's call module accepts connections from any client without authentication or Twilio signature validation. Each connection opens an authenticated session to OpenAI's Realtime API using the server's API key. There are no limits on concurrent connections, message rate, or message size, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to exhaust server resources and drain the victim's OpenAI API credits. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.5.128.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated resource exhaustion in PraisonAI versions prior to 4.5.128 allows remote attackers to drain OpenAI API credits and exhaust server resources. The /media-stream WebSocket endpoint in the call module accepts connections without authentication or Twilio signature validation, enabling unlimited concurrent sessions to OpenAI's Realtime API using the server's credentials. …

Impact
Exhaust server resources and drain API credits

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit PraisonAI versions prior to 4.5.128 by connecting to the /media-stream WebSocket endpoint without authentication. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Unauthenticated attackers can exhaust server resources and drain OpenAI API credits via unlimited WebSocket connections to /media-stream. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Attacker sends multiple WebSocket connection requests to the /media-stream endpoint without credentials. Each connection opens an authenticated OpenAI Realtime API session using the server's API key, consuming credits until the account is depleted or quota limits trigger denial of service.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade to PraisonAI version 4.5.128 or later, which implements authentication and Twilio signature validation on the /media-stream WebSocket endpoint. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Identify all PraisonAI deployments with call module enabled and inventory current version numbers; immediately restrict network access to /media-stream WebSocket endpoint via firewall or WAF rules to trusted sources only. …
