AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N
AV:N and PR:N confirmed by network-reachable unauthenticated endpoint; AC:L because exploitation is trivially simple once the misconfigured target is found; I:H for arbitrary recipe execution capability; C:L for incidental data exposure via recipe outputs; A:N as no availability impact is described.

4DescriptionCVE.org
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to praisonai 4.6.58, create_auth_middleware() allows requests when auth=api-key lacks PRAISONAI_API_KEY or JWT authentication lacks PRAISONAI_JWT_SECRET. An externally bound Recipe server can therefore accept unauthenticated POST /v1/recipes/run requests despite authentication being enabled. This issue is fixed in version 4.6.58.
AnalysisAI
Authentication fail-open in PraisonAI's Recipe HTTP server allows unauthenticated remote attackers to invoke recipe execution endpoints despite authentication being nominally enabled. Versions prior to 4.6.58 of the pip package are affected: when the server is started with --auth api-key or --auth jwt but the corresponding PRAISONAI_API_KEY or PRAISONAI_JWT_SECRET environment variable is absent, create_auth_middleware() silently bypasses all authentication checks. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires three concurrent conditions: (1) The Recipe server is started with --auth api-key or --auth jwt (i.e., the operator intends to enforce authentication), (2) the corresponding secret is absent - neither the --api-key CLI argument nor PRAISONAI_API_KEY environment variable is set for api-key mode, or neither --jwt-secret nor PRAISONAI_JWT_SECRET is set for JWT mode, AND (3) the server is bound to a non-localhost interface (e.g., --host 0.0.0.0), making it reachable from the network. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N scores 8.2, reflecting network-reachable, zero-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with high integrity impact - consistent with the ability to trigger arbitrary multi-agent recipe execution. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade to PraisonAI v4.6.58 or later via `pip install --upgrade praisonai>=4.6.58`; this is the vendor-confirmed fix (https://github.com/MervinPraison/PraisonAI/releases/tag/v4.6.58, patch commit https://github.com/MervinPraison/PraisonAI/commit/2f9677abb2ea68eab864ee8b6a828fd0141612e1). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify all PraisonAI deployments running versions prior to 4.6.58 configured with --auth api-key or --auth jwt, and verify whether PRAISONAI_API_KEY or PRAISONAI_JWT_SECRET environment variables are actually present. …
