CVE-2026-55533

PraisonAI: Authentication fail-open in Recipe server allows unauthenticated access when API key or JWT auth is configured without a secret

Published Aug 25, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 8.2 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to praisonai 4.6.58, create_auth_middleware() allows requests when auth=api-key lacks PRAISONAI_API_KEY or JWT authentication lacks PRAISONAI_JWT_SECRET. An externally bound Recipe server can therefore accept unauthenticated POST /v1/recipes/run requests despite authentication being enabled. This issue is fixed in version 4.6.58.
