Network-reachable via agent prompt; low privilege required to instruct the agent; scope change because internal host services are affected beyond the application boundary; high confidentiality as full internal responses are returned; low integrity since exploitation relies on HTTP GET semantics.

DescriptionCVE.org

PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to praisonaiagents 1.6.58, spider_tools._host_is_blocked() does not resolve ordinary hostnames before scrape_page fetches them. A hostname such as 127.0.0.1.nip.io passes validation and resolves to loopback, permitting internal HTTP access. The fix uses socket.getaddrinfo and fails closed on DNS errors. This issue is fixed in version 1.6.58.

AnalysisAI

SSRF protection bypass in PraisonAI's praisonaiagents library (all versions before 1.6.58) lets low-privileged users route agent web-fetching functions to internal HTTP services by supplying hostnames - such as 127.0.0.1.nip.io - that pass the static IP blocklist in spider_tools._host_is_blocked() because the function never performs DNS resolution before validation. The affected functions scrape_page, extract_links, crawl, and extract_text are registered as default LLM-callable agent tools, so any agent prompted to retrieve a user-supplied URL will trigger this path; a live proof-of-concept is documented in the GitHub Security Advisory (GHSA-x44h-65qv-cw74), confirming that publicly available exploit code exists. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate with low privileges to PraisonAI agent
Delivery
Supply crafted nip.io loopback URL as fetch target
Exploit
SSRF filter passes hostname without DNS resolution
Execution
Agent issues HTTP request to internal loopback service
Persist
Internal service response returned to attacker
Impact
Exfiltrate credentials or sensitive internal data

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must have low-privileged access sufficient to supply a URL to a PraisonAI agent that invokes one of the affected LLM-callable tools: scrape_page, extract_links, crawl, or extract_text - all registered as default agent tools via tools/__init__.py lines 51-55. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.5 score is well-supported: the network attack vector (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), and low-privilege requirement (PR:L) combine with a scope change (S:C) that elevates the effective impact beyond the praisonaiagents process to internal network services. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with low-privileged access to a PraisonAI deployment - for example, a user who can supply prompts to an agent using the scrape_page or crawl tools - provides a URL such as http://127.0.0.1.nip.io:8080/admin/config. The SSRF filter in _host_is_blocked() treats '127.0.0.1.nip.io' as an ordinary hostname, fails to resolve it, and returns False, permitting the HTTP request to proceed to the local service; the GHSA advisory confirms this exact scenario with a live exploit requiring no external infrastructure. …
Remediation Upgrade praisonaiagents to version 1.6.58 or later via pip install --upgrade praisonaiagents; the vendor-released patch is confirmed by GitHub release tag v4.6.58 and commit 2f9677abb2ea68eab864ee8b6a828fd0141612e1. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
