CVE-2026-57127: CWE-306: Missing Authentication for Critical Function in MervinPraison PraisonAI
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to 4.6.58, recipe serve installs APIKeyAuthMiddleware or JWTAuthMiddleware when an operator selects api-key or JWT authentication, but each middleware forwards requests when PRAISONAI_API_KEY or PRAISONAI_JWT_SECRET and the corresponding recipe value are absent. Unauthenticated clients can then reach recipe execution, input, and output surfaces and may trigger connected tools despite the operator explicitly enabling authentication. This issue is fixed in 4.6.58.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-57127 describes a missing authentication vulnerability (CWE-306) in MervinPraison's PraisonAI multi-agent teams system. Before version 4.6.58, when operators select API key or JWT authentication, the middleware responsible for enforcing authentication (APIKeyAuthMiddleware or JWTAuthMiddleware) forwards requests even if the environment variables PRAISONAI_API_KEY or PRAISONAI_JWT_SECRET and the corresponding recipe values are missing. This flaw permits unauthenticated clients to access recipe execution, input, and output surfaces and potentially trigger connected tools, bypassing the intended authentication controls. The vulnerability is fixed in version 4.6.58.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication controls and access critical functions of PraisonAI, including recipe execution and connected tools. This can lead to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system, as reflected by the CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8 (critical).
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade PraisonAI to version 4.6.58 or later, where this authentication bypass vulnerability has been fixed. No other mitigation is indicated or necessary once the update is applied.
