Let me synthesize.
Key facts:
- CVE-2026-57134, PraisonAI (npm package "praisonai", TypeScript MCP security helper).
- MCPSecurity.evaluatePolicy() only validates credentials for api-key/bearer; basic/oauth accept any non-empty Authorization header, skipping validate() callback, returning authenticated: true.
- Affected: npm praisonai >= 1.5.1, <= 1.7.1; fixed in 1.7.2. CPE cpe:2.3:a:mervinpraison:praisonai:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*
- CVSS 8.2 AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N. But logically, exploitation requires the deployment to use basic or oauth auth policy — that's a configuration prerequisite. Hmm. CVSS PR:N given. My assessed vector: I'd argue PR:N is defensible from the attacker's perspective (attacker sends an arbitrary Authorization header without valid credentials). But the configuration requirement: the target must use basic/oauth policy. AV:N is fine. AC:L? Arguably AC:H because it requires non-default config (basic/oauth policy configured). Let me think: the guidance says choose PR honestly — if exploitation requires control over configuration files, admin access, or authentication, use PR:H or PR:L. Here the attacker doesn't need config access; they need the target to have configured basic or oauth. That's a configuration precondition, not attacker privilege. I'd keep PR:N and use AC:H? Hmm. Many would keep AC:L. Actually the exploit is trivially automatable once the target uses basic/oauth. I'll go AC:L, PR:N, but note the pre-condition. Hmm, but the rubric's example: "Requires write access to the httpd configuration, so PR:H and AC:H". That's different. Here attacker just sends header. I'll use AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N — matching but I should express independent judgment. Maybe I could argue I:L and A:N as given. Let me consider C:H — access to MCP tools and resources protected by policies → confidentiality high, integrity low. That's reasonable. I'll go with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N — but then it's a copy. The instruction says "NOT

DescriptionCVE.org
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. From 1.5.1 until 1.7.2, MCPSecurity.evaluatePolicy() in src/praisonai-ts/src/mcp/security.ts invokes the configured credential validator only when AuthMethod is api-key or bearer. Basic and OAuth policies accept any non-empty Authorization header without calling auth.validate(), then return an authenticated result, allowing callers with invalid credentials to access MCP tools and resources protected by those policies. This issue is fixed in version 1.7.2.
