Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated account with workspace member privileges (CVSS PR:L) in a shared PraisonAI Platform workspace running a version before 0.1.9; the attacker must be able to reach the label and issue-label REST endpoints over the network. The limiting factor is that this is not an unauthenticated flaw - the attacker must already be a member of the target workspace, so multi-tenant deployments that invite untrusted or lightly vetted members are most exposed, while single-user or fully trusted-member installations face little practical risk. No special non-default configuration or user interaction is needed beyond having a member role.

Impact

The vendor CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N) scores 7.1 and correctly captures a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw exploitable by an already-authenticated low-privileged member with no user interaction, affecting integrity only - no confidentiality or availability loss. The rated VI:H (high integrity impact) appears generous: the manipulable data is label metadata and issue-label associations, which is bounded taxonomy/organizational data rather than critical system state, so real-world integrity impact is closer to partial/low. There is no EPSS score, no KEV listing, and no POC in the provided data, meaning exploitation is theoretical and requires insider (member-level) access to the target workspace, sharply limiting the realistic threat population. This is a legitimate multi-tenant/collaboration authorization bug worth patching but not an internet-facing unauthenticated priority - treat it as medium, not critical.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A low-privileged user who has been invited to a shared PraisonAI workspace uses their valid session to call the label PATCH endpoint and rename or recolor shared labels, then calls the issue-label POST/DELETE endpoints to add or strip labels on issues created by the workspace owner. No user interaction or elevated role is needed, so a disgruntled or compromised member can silently corrupt the workspace's label taxonomy and mislabel issues. No public exploit code has been identified, but the attack requires only ordinary API calls with member-level credentials.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 15, 2026

Broken authorization in PraisonAI Platform before 0.1.9 lets any authenticated workspace member modify shared label taxonomy and issue-label associations they should not control, renaming and recoloring shared labels and adding or removing labels on issues created by owners or admins. The flaw (CWE-862, missing authorization) stems from label PATCH and issue-label POST/DELETE endpoints trusting workspace membership without enforcing owner/admin role checks. Reported by VulnCheck with a vendor patch available; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not in CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade PraisonAI Platform to 0.1.9 or later, which is referenced by commit 846568c7a5d8ce9e71e56e4c213f027c04909753 and advisory GHSA-xxgv-vgvj-qvxh. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, apply compensating controls at the application or gateway layer: restrict who can join workspaces as members (treat member as a trusted role until patched), and place a proxy/authorization rule in front of the label mutation endpoints to block PATCH on labels and POST/DELETE on issue-label associations for non-owner/non-admin identities - accepting the trade-off that legitimate members temporarily lose the ability to edit labels or tag issues. Also review audit logs for unexpected label renames/recolors or issue-label changes made by non-privileged members to detect prior abuse. Reference the vendor advisory (https://github.com/MervinPraison/PraisonAI/security/advisories/GHSA-xxgv-vgvj-qvxh) for authoritative fix guidance.

Technical ContextAI · show details

PraisonAI is an open-source multi-agent AI framework (CPE cpe:2.3:a:mervinpraison:praisonai) whose Platform component adds collaborative workspace features including issue tracking with shared labels - conceptually similar to GitHub/Linear-style label taxonomies. The vulnerability is a CWE-862 Missing Authorization defect: the REST endpoints that mutate labels (PATCH for rename/recolor) and issue-label links (POST to attach, DELETE to detach) authenticate the caller as a workspace member but never verify that the member holds the owner or admin role required to alter shared, owner-scoped resources. This is a classic function-level authorization gap where the object action, not just the object, needs an entitlement check.

DescriptionCVE.org

PraisonAI Platform before 0.1.9 fails to properly authorize label and issue-label mutations, allowing workspace members to rename and recolor shared labels and add or remove labels on owner-created issues. Attackers with workspace member privileges can exploit PATCH and POST/DELETE endpoints to alter shared label taxonomy and manipulate issue-label associations without owner or admin authorization.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

PraisonAI Platform before version 0.1.9 contains broken authorization that allows any authenticated workspace member to modify shared labels and issue associations without proper role controls, enabling unauthorized changes to shared taxonomy and workflow metadata across the platform.
