CVE-2026-61442: Missing Authorization in MervinPraison PraisonAI
PraisonAI Platform (praisonai-platform) before 0.1.9 fails to enforce owner/admin authorization on the PATCH routes for projects, issues, and agents, which only require workspace-member role. A workspace member can modify owner-created records; for projects, a member can reassign lead_id to their own user id and then delete the owner-created project, bypassing the delete route's owner/admin permission check.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-61442 describes an authorization bypass vulnerability in MervinPraison's PraisonAI Platform prior to version 0.1.9. The platform fails to enforce owner or admin authorization on PATCH HTTP routes for projects, issues, and agents, requiring only a workspace-member role. This flaw enables any workspace member to modify owner-created records, such as reassigning the lead_id of a project to themselves, thereby bypassing the intended delete route's owner/admin permission checks and allowing unauthorized deletion of projects.
Potential Impact
An attacker with workspace-member privileges can escalate their permissions by modifying ownership attributes on projects, issues, and agents. This can lead to unauthorized deletion of owner-created projects and potentially disrupt project management workflows. The vulnerability compromises access control within the affected PraisonAI instances.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in PraisonAI version 0.1.9 and later. Users should upgrade to version 0.1.9 or newer to ensure proper enforcement of owner/admin authorization on PATCH routes. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the vendor advisory, so users should verify the update availability and remediation guidance from the vendor.
