CVE-2026-57125: CWE-306: Missing Authentication for Critical Function in MervinPraison PraisonAI
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to praisonai 4.6.59 and praisonaiagents 1.6.59, the unauthenticated POST /api/v1/runs Jobs API accepts attacker-controlled agent_yaml, and the approve field can mark execute_command as YAML-approved before @require_approval checks critical tools. This chain allows a remote caller to cause a configured language model agent to invoke arbitrary operating-system commands without credentials or operator interaction. This vulnerability is fixed in praisonai 4.6.59 and praisonaiagents 1.6.59 as fixed versions.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-57125 describes a missing authentication vulnerability (CWE-306) in MervinPraison's PraisonAI multi-agent system. Before versions 4.6.59 (PraisonAI) and 1.6.59 (praisonaiagents), the unauthenticated POST /api/v1/runs Jobs API accepts attacker-controlled YAML input. The approve field can be manipulated to mark execute_command as approved, bypassing the @require_approval checks on critical tools. This allows remote attackers to invoke arbitrary OS commands via a configured language model agent without any credentials or operator interaction. The issue is resolved in the specified fixed versions.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated remote attacker can execute arbitrary operating system commands on the affected system, leading to full compromise (confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts are all high). This is a critical security risk due to the lack of authentication and the ability to bypass approval mechanisms.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade PraisonAI to version 4.6.59 or later and praisonaiagents to version 1.6.59 or later to apply the official fix. These versions contain patches that enforce proper authentication and approval checks, mitigating the vulnerability.
