  "details": "# praisonai: Jobs API exposes agent-execution endpoints with no authentication\n\n**Researcher:** Kai Aizen \u2014 SnailSploit (@SnailSploit), Adversarial \u0026 Offensive Security Research \n**Target:** https://github.com/MervinPraison/PraisonAI\n\n---\n\n**Package:** `praisonai` on PyPI\n**Affected version (empirically tested):** 4.6.48\n**Components:**\n- `praisonai.jobs.server.create_app` \u2014 `praisonai/jobs/server.py`\n- `praisonai.jobs.router.create_router` \u2014 `praisonai/jobs/router.py`\n- Routes mounted at `/api/v1/runs/...`\n**Weakness:** CWE-306 Missing Authentication for Critical Function \u00b7 CWE-862 Missing Authorization \u00b7 CWE-94 Code Injection (via prompt / agent_yaml). \n\n---\n\n## TL;DR\n\n`praisonai` ships a standalone async-jobs HTTP server (`python -m praisonai.jobs.server --host=0.0.0.0 --port=8005`) whose job is to accept job submissions and run agents on the operator\u0027s behalf. Every endpoint under `/api/v1/runs` is **unauthenticated**. There is no `auth_token` field, no `Depends(verify_*)`, no middleware that inspects `Authorization` \u2014 the CORS middleware *lists* `Authorization` in `allow_headers` (the only signal in the whole module that the developer was aware authentication is a thing), but no route ever reads it.\n\nA network-reachable attacker can:\n\n1. **Execute arbitrary agent code** \u2014 `POST /api/v1/runs` accepts `prompt`, `agent_yaml`, `agent_file`, `config`, `framework`. The job is queued and an executor invokes whichever framework (`praisonai` / `crewai` / `autogen`) the attacker picks, with whichever prompt and tool config the attacker supplies. The job runs in the operator\u0027s process \u2014 same environment variables, same filesystem, same credentials (OpenAI / Anthropic / Azure / Bedrock keys; tool integrations; on-disk YAML recipes).\n2. **List and read every job system-wide** \u2014 `GET /api/v1/runs` lists all jobs; `GET /api/v1/runs/{job_id}/result` returns the full result of any completed job. Operator\u0027s prompts, the agent\u0027s chain-of-thought, tool inputs / outputs, retrieved documents \u2014 all readable to an anonymous client.\n3. **Cancel or delete any job** \u2014 `POST /\u2026/cancel` and `DELETE /\u2026/{job_id}` accept arbitrary job IDs without any ownership / authorization check.\n4. **Stream live SSE of any in-flight job** \u2014 `GET /\u2026/{job_id}/stream` reads the executor\u0027s live progress for any job ID.\n\nThe remote-RCE shape (1) is the load-bearing one. Even with `webhook_url` SSRF-guarded (and it is \u2014 the model validator at `jobs/models.py:42-65` rejects localhost / private IPs), the attacker needs no callback: SSE streaming returns the agent\u0027s output directly on the same connection.\n\n## Root cause\n\n```\n   Expected behavior when starting `praisonai.jobs.server`:\n     \"I\u0027m running an HTTP API my application backend will call.\n      The CORS middleware permits Authorization, so the server\n      enforces it.  Anonymous attackers cannot submit jobs.\"\n\n   Actual behavior (praisonai 4.6.48):\n     - server.py:59-152  create_app builds a FastAPI app, adds\n                         CORSMiddleware, includes the jobs router.\n                         NO auth middleware.  NO global Depends.\n     - router.py:43      @router.post(\"\") submit_job(...)\n                         No Depends, no Authorization header read,\n                         no auth_token config field at all.\n     - router.py:109,148,161,180,205,224  every other route:\n                         likewise, no auth on any of GET-list,\n                         GET-status, GET-result, POST-cancel,\n                         DELETE, GET-stream.\n     - server.py:117     CORS allow_headers DOES include\n                         \"Authorization\" \u2014 the only token in the\n                         entire jobs/ subpackage that suggests\n                         the developer was thinking about auth.\n\n   Impact:\n     The API is intended to be production-ready (the CORS code at\n     server.py:96-102 explicitly branches on\n     `os.getenv(\"ENVIRONMENT\") == \"production\"` to harden origins),\n     yet ships with no authentication layer at all.  Operators who\n     bind the server to a network interface \u2014 including the\n     suggested `--host=0.0.0.0` in the CLI parser \u2014 expose\n     unauthenticated agent execution to anyone who can reach the\n     port.\n```\n\nThe same package gets auth right elsewhere (`praisonai/gateway/server.py` auto-generates an `auth_token` if none is configured and refuses to serve requests without it; `praisonai/endpoints/a2u_server.py:250-264` uses `hmac.compare_digest` on a Bearer token). The jobs API is the outlier.\n\n## Empirically affected routes\n\nVerified by PoC against published `praisonai==4.6.48` (`/api/v1/runs/...` paths):\n\n| Method   | Path                          | Unauth result            |\n|----------|-------------------------------|--------------------------|\n| `POST`   | `/api/v1/runs`                | **HTTP 202 Accepted**, attacker job queued and executor invoked the framework |\n| `GET`    | `/api/v1/runs`                | **HTTP 200**, lists every job in the store |\n| `GET`    | `/api/v1/runs/{job_id}`       | **HTTP 200**, returns status of any job |\n| `GET`    | `/api/v1/runs/{job_id}/result`| (untested; same router, no auth)         |\n| `POST`   | `/api/v1/runs/{job_id}/cancel`| **HTTP 200 / 409** (processed)           |\n| `DELETE` | `/api/v1/runs/{job_id}`       | **HTTP 204 No Content** (deleted)         |\n| `GET`    | `/api/v1/runs/{job_id}/stream`| (untested; SSE; same router, no auth)    |\n\nPoC run log excerpt (`poc/run-log.txt`):\n\n```\n[1] POST /api/v1/runs (no Authorization) -\u003e HTTP 202\n    body: {\"job_id\":\"run_90f21c98b82a\",\"status\":\"queued\",...}\n[01:15:44] executor.py:201 ERROR Job failed: run_90f21c98b82a -\n    OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable is required ...\n```\n\nThe executor\u0027s error confirms the prompt reached the framework\u0027s LLM-invocation step. Had the operator set `OPENAI_API_KEY`, the attacker prompt would have executed.\n\n## Impact details\n\n### 1. Remote code execution via agent invocation\n\n`JobSubmitRequest.framework` accepts `\"praisonai\"`, `\"crewai\"`, or `\"autogen\"`. Each framework can be configured (via the YAML / config the attacker sends) to use arbitrary tools. praisonai\u0027s tool loaders (`praisonai/agents_generator.py` `load_tools_from_module*`) have a documented history of arbitrary-import (CVE-2026-40287 and its fix-of-fix CVE-2026-44334). In practice the operator\u0027s installation may or may not expose these sinks; either way the attacker controls the prompt, which the LLM will execute with whatever tools the operator wired (including shell, filesystem, browser, \u2026).\n\nThe job executor runs in-process under the operator\u0027s service account, with full access to environment variables (LLM API keys, tool tokens) and to anything `praisonai`\u0027s tools normally touch.\n\n### 2. Cross-tenant data read\n\nA single-process deployment uses an `InMemoryJobStore` that is flat \u2014 no `user_id` / `tenant_id` / `workspace_id` partition. Any client that knows or guesses a job ID can read it. Worse, the list endpoint (`GET /api/v1/runs`) returns every job, so guessing isn\u0027t even necessary.\n\nSensitive content in the result includes the attacker\u0027s input (harmless) but also any *legitimate* user\u0027s input that the operator\u0027s backend submitted \u2014 and the agent\u0027s full output, which may contain data the agent retrieved from the operator\u0027s databases or APIs.\n\n### 3. Denial of service via job deletion / cancellation\n\n`DELETE` and `cancel` accept any job ID. An attacker who polls the list endpoint can enumerate IDs and cancel-then-delete every job in flight, breaking the operator\u0027s backend\u0027s polling-for-completion flow.\n\n### 4. webhook_url SSRF \u2014 defended\n\nTo the developer\u0027s credit, `JobSubmitRequest.webhook_url` is validated against localhost / private / link-local / multicast IPs at submission time (`jobs/models.py:42-65`). This blocks the naive \"submit a job whose webhook posts to AWS IMDS\" attack. **Honest yield:** this is properly guarded.\n\n## Anchors\n\npraisonai 4.6.48, source file `praisonai/jobs/server.py` (sha256 `10b5deab96686f276b8ad71fa4712e1e3d301e4c356812d5d0d595b2b9503ef3`):\n\n| Line  | Symbol                                                  | What it shows |\n|-------|---------------------------------------------------------|---------------|\n| 59-152 | `def create_app(cors_origins, store, executor) -\u003e FastAPI:` | Only middleware added is CORS; auth middleware absent. |\n| 117   | `allow_headers=[\"Authorization\", \"Content-Type\", \"Origin\", \"Accept\", \"Idempotency-Key\"]` | CORS hints that the operator should send Authorization \u2014 sole indicator the developer considered auth. |\n| 124   | `jobs_router = create_router(get_store, get_executor)` | Router included without `dependencies=[\u2026]`. |\n| 178   | `\"praisonai.jobs.server:create_app\"` (passed to `uvicorn.run`) | Production-ready binding via the CLI / `start_server`. |\n\npraisonai 4.6.48, source file `praisonai/jobs/router.py` (sha256 `869564d523c14624afefb211a2e7c6bf8a27b3356bd19a58927fcb5e1ebb014c`):\n\n| Line  | Symbol                                                              | What it shows |\n|-------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------|\n| 30-31 | `def create_router(store, executor) -\u003e APIRouter:`                  | Sole entry point; no `dependencies=[Depends(...)]`. |\n| 43    | `@router.post(\"\", response_model=JobSubmitResponse, status_code=202)` | submit_job \u2014 no auth. |\n| 109   | `@router.get(\"\", response_model=JobListResponse)`                   | list_jobs \u2014 no auth. |\n| 148   | `@router.get(\"/{job_id}\", response_model=JobStatusResponse)`        | get_job_status \u2014 no auth. |\n| 161   | `@router.get(\"/{job_id}/result\", response_model=JobResultResponse)` | get_job_result \u2014 no auth. |\n| 180   | `@router.post(\"/{job_id}/cancel\", response_model=JobStatusResponse)`| cancel_job \u2014 no auth. |\n| 205   | `@router.delete(\"/{job_id}\", status_code=204)`                       | delete_job \u2014 no auth. |\n| 224   | `@router.get(\"/{job_id}/stream\")`                                    | stream_job (SSE) \u2014 no auth. |\n\n## Suggested fix\n\nAdd a single FastAPI dependency that reads an `Authorization: Bearer \u003ctoken\u003e` header and `hmac.compare_digest`s it against an operator-configured secret. Apply it as a global router dependency:\n\n```python\n# praisonai/jobs/auth.py\nimport hmac, os\nfrom fastapi import HTTPException, Header\n\n_TOKEN = os.environ.get(\"PRAISONAI_JOBS_AUTH_TOKEN\")\n\nasync def require_auth(authorization: str | None = Header(None)):\n    if not _TOKEN:\n        raise HTTPException(503, \"PRAISONAI_JOBS_AUTH_TOKEN not configured\")\n    if not authorization or not authorization.startswith(\"Bearer \"):\n        raise HTTPException(401, \"Bearer auth required\")\n    presented = authorization[len(\"Bearer \"):]\n    if not hmac.compare_digest(presented, _TOKEN):\n        raise HTTPException(401, \"invalid token\")\n\n# praisonai/jobs/router.py\ndef create_router(store, executor) -\u003e APIRouter:\n    router = APIRouter(prefix=\"/api/v1/runs\", tags=[\"jobs\"],\n                       dependencies=[Depends(require_auth)])  # \u003c-- single line\n    ...\n```\n\nA startup-time refusal in `create_app` would round it out:\n\n```python\n# praisonai/jobs/server.py:create_app\nif not os.environ.get(\"PRAISONAI_JOBS_AUTH_TOKEN\"):\n    raise RuntimeError(\n        \"PRAISONAI_JOBS_AUTH_TOKEN is required; the jobs API \"\n        \"executes attacker-controllable agent code and must not \"\n        \"run without authentication.\"\n    )\n```\n\nThe pattern is already present in the sibling `praisonai/gateway/server.py` (which auto-generates a random token if none is supplied) \u2014 that approach plus a logged warning about the new token would minimize operator friction.\n\n## Steps to reproduce\n\n1. Clone the target: `git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/MervinPraison/PraisonAI`\n2. Run the proof of concept (`poc.py`) against the cloned source.\n3.

There is no `auth_token` field, no `Depends(verify_*)`, no middleware that inspects `Authorization` \u2014 the CORS middleware *lists* `Authorization` in `allow_headers` (the only signal in the whole module that the developer was aware authentication is a thing), but no route ever reads it.\n\nA network-reachable attacker can:\n\n1. **Execute arbitrary agent code** \u2014 `POST /api/v1/runs` accepts `prompt`, `agent_yaml`, `agent_file`, `config`, `framework`. The job is queued and an executor invokes whichever framework (`praisonai` / `crewai` / `autogen`) the attacker picks, with whichever prompt and tool config the attacker supplies. The job runs in the operator\u0027s process \u2014 same environment variables, same filesystem, same credentials (OpenAI / Anthropic / Azure / Bedrock keys; tool integrations; on-disk YAML recipes).\n2. **List and read every job system-wide** \u2014 `GET /api/v1/runs` lists all jobs; `GET /api/v1/runs/{job_id}/result` returns the full result of any completed job. Operator\u0027s prompts, the agent\u0027s chain-of-thought, tool inputs / outputs, retrieved documents \u2014 all readable to an anonymous client.\n3. **Cancel or delete any job** \u2014 `POST /\u2026/cancel` and `DELETE /\u2026/{job_id}` accept arbitrary job IDs without any ownership / authorization check.\n4. **Stream live SSE of any in-flight job** \u2014 `GET /\u2026/{job_id}/stream` reads the executor\u0027s live progress for any job ID.\n\nThe remote-RCE shape (1) is the load-bearing one. Even with `webhook_url` SSRF-guarded (and it is \u2014 the model validator at `jobs/models.py:42-65` rejects localhost / private IPs), the attacker needs no callback: SSE streaming returns the agent\u0027s output directly on the same connection.\n\n## Root cause\n\n```\n   Expected behavior when starting `praisonai.jobs.server`:\n     \"I\u0027m running an HTTP API my application backend will call.\n      The CORS middleware permits Authorization, so the server\n      enforces it.  Anonymous attackers cannot submit jobs.\"\n\n   Actual behavior (praisonai 4.6.48):\n     - server.py:59-152  create_app builds a FastAPI app, adds\n                         CORSMiddleware, includes the jobs router.\n                         NO auth middleware.  NO global Depends.\n     - router.py:43      @router.post(\"\") submit_job(...)\n                         No Depends, no Authorization header read,\n                         no auth_token config field at all.\n     - router.py:109,148,161,180,205,224  every other route:\n                         likewise, no auth on any of GET-list,\n                         GET-status, GET-result, POST-cancel,\n                         DELETE, GET-stream.\n     - server.py:117     CORS allow_headers DOES include\n                         \"Authorization\" \u2014 the only token in the\n                         entire jobs/ subpackage that suggests\n                         the developer was thinking about auth.\n\n   Impact:\n     The API is intended to be production-ready (the CORS code at\n     server.py:96-102 explicitly branches on\n     `os.getenv(\"ENVIRONMENT\") == \"production\"` to harden origins),\n     yet ships with no authentication layer at all.  Operators who\n     bind the server to a network interface \u2014 including the\n     suggested `--host=0.0.0.0` in the CLI parser \u2014 expose\n     unauthenticated agent execution to anyone who can reach the\n     port.\n```\n\nThe same package gets auth right elsewhere (`praisonai/gateway/server.py` auto-generates an `auth_token` if none is configured and refuses to serve requests without it; `praisonai/endpoints/a2u_server.py:250-264` uses `hmac.compare_digest` on a Bearer token). The jobs API is the outlier.\n\n## Empirically affected routes\n\nVerified by PoC against published `praisonai==4.6.48` (`/api/v1/runs/...` paths):\n\n| Method   | Path                          | Unauth result            |\n|----------|-------------------------------|--------------------------|\n| `POST`   | `/api/v1/runs`                | **HTTP 202 Accepted**, attacker job queued and executor invoked the framework |\n| `GET`    | `/api/v1/runs`                | **HTTP 200**, lists every job in the store |\n| `GET`    | `/api/v1/runs/{job_id}`       | **HTTP 200**, returns status of any job |\n| `GET`    | `/api/v1/runs/{job_id}/result`| (untested; same router, no auth)         |\n| `POST`   | `/api/v1/runs/{job_id}/cancel`| **HTTP 200 / 409** (processed)           |\n| `DELETE` | `/api/v1/runs/{job_id}`       | **HTTP 204 No Content** (deleted)         |\n| `GET`    | `/api/v1/runs/{job_id}/stream`| (untested; SSE; same router, no auth)    |\n\nPoC run log excerpt (`poc/run-log.txt`):\n\n```\n[1] POST /api/v1/runs (no Authorization) -\u003e HTTP 202\n    body: {\"job_id\":\"run_90f21c98b82a\",\"status\":\"queued\",...}\n[01:15:44] executor.py:201 ERROR Job failed: run_90f21c98b82a -\n    OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable is required ...\n```\n\nThe executor\u0027s error confirms the prompt reached the framework\u0027s LLM-invocation step. Had the operator set `OPENAI_API_KEY`, the attacker prompt would have executed.\n\n## Impact details\n\n### 1. Remote code execution via agent invocation\n\n`JobSubmitRequest.framework` accepts `\"praisonai\"`, `\"crewai\"`, or `\"autogen\"`. Each framework can be configured (via the YAML / config the attacker sends) to use arbitrary tools. praisonai\u0027s tool loaders (`praisonai/agents_generator.py` `load_tools_from_module*`) have a documented history of arbitrary-import (CVE-2026-40287 and its fix-of-fix CVE-2026-44334). In practice the operator\u0027s installation may or may not expose these sinks; either way the attacker controls the prompt, which the LLM will execute with whatever tools the operator wired (including shell, filesystem, browser, \u2026).\n\nThe job executor runs in-process under the operator\u0027s service account, with full access to environment variables (LLM API keys, tool tokens) and to anything `praisonai`\u0027s tools normally touch.\n\n### 2. Cross-tenant data read\n\nA single-process deployment uses an `InMemoryJobStore` that is flat \u2014 no `user_id` / `tenant_id` / `workspace_id` partition. Any client that knows or guesses a job ID can read it. Worse, the list endpoint (`GET /api/v1/runs`) returns every job, so guessing isn\u0027t even necessary.\n\nSensitive content in the result includes the attacker\u0027s input (harmless) but also any *legitimate* user\u0027s input that the operator\u0027s backend submitted \u2014 and the agent\u0027s full output, which may contain data the agent retrieved from the operator\u0027s databases or APIs.\n\n### 3. Denial of service via job deletion / cancellation\n\n`DELETE` and `cancel` accept any job ID. An attacker who polls the list endpoint can enumerate IDs and cancel-then-delete every job in flight, breaking the operator\u0027s backend\u0027s polling-for-completion flow.\n\n### 4. webhook_url SSRF \u2014 defended\n\nTo the developer\u0027s credit, `JobSubmitRequest.webhook_url` is validated against localhost / private / link-local / multicast IPs at submission time (`jobs/models.py:42-65`). This blocks the naive \"submit a job whose webhook posts to AWS IMDS\" attack. **Honest yield:** this is properly guarded.\n\n## Anchors\n\npraisonai 4.6.48, source file `praisonai/jobs/server.py` (sha256 `10b5deab96686f276b8ad71fa4712e1e3d301e4c356812d5d0d595b2b9503ef3`):\n\n| Line  | Symbol                                                  | What it shows |\n|-------|---------------------------------------------------------|---------------|\n| 59-152 | `def create_app(cors_origins, store, executor) -\u003e FastAPI:` | Only middleware added is CORS; auth middleware absent. |\n| 117   | `allow_headers=[\"Authorization\", \"Content-Type\", \"Origin\", \"Accept\", \"Idempotency-Key\"]` | CORS hints that the operator should send Authorization \u2014 sole indicator the developer considered auth. |\n| 124   | `jobs_router = create_router(get_store, get_executor)` | Router included without `dependencies=[\u2026]`. |\n| 178   | `\"praisonai.jobs.server:create_app\"` (passed to `uvicorn.run`) | Production-ready binding via the CLI / `start_server`. |\n\npraisonai 4.6.48, source file `praisonai/jobs/router.py` (sha256 `869564d523c14624afefb211a2e7c6bf8a27b3356bd19a58927fcb5e1ebb014c`):\n\n| Line  | Symbol                                                              | What it shows |\n|-------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------|\n| 30-31 | `def create_router(store, executor) -\u003e APIRouter:`                  | Sole entry point; no `dependencies=[Depends(...)]`. |\n| 43    | `@router.post(\"\", response_model=JobSubmitResponse, status_code=202)` | submit_job \u2014 no auth. |\n| 109   | `@router.get(\"\", response_model=JobListResponse)`                   | list_jobs \u2014 no auth. |\n| 148   | `@router.get(\"/{job_id}\", response_model=JobStatusResponse)`        | get_job_status \u2014 no auth. |\n| 161   | `@router.get(\"/{job_id}/result\", response_model=JobResultResponse)` | get_job_result \u2014 no auth. |\n| 180   | `@router.post(\"/{job_id}/cancel\", response_model=JobStatusResponse)`| cancel_job \u2014 no auth. |\n| 205   | `@router.delete(\"/{job_id}\", status_code=204)`                       | delete_job \u2014 no auth. |\n| 224   | `@router.get(\"/{job_id}/stream\")`                                    | stream_job (SSE) \u2014 no auth. |\n\n## Suggested fix\n\nAdd a single FastAPI dependency that reads an `Authorization: Bearer \u003ctoken\u003e` header and `hmac.compare_digest`s it against an operator-configured secret. Apply it as a global router dependency:\n\n```python\n# praisonai/jobs/auth.py\nimport hmac, os\nfrom fastapi import HTTPException, Header\n\n_TOKEN = os.environ.get(\"PRAISONAI_JOBS_AUTH_TOKEN\")\n\nasync def require_auth(authorization: str | None = Header(None)):\n    if not _TOKEN:\n        raise HTTPException(503, \"PRAISONAI_JOBS_AUTH_TOKEN not configured\")\n    if not authorization or not authorization.startswith(\"Bearer \"):\n        raise HTTPException(401, \"Bearer auth required\")\n    presented = authorization[len(\"Bearer \"):]\n    if not hmac.compare_digest(presented, _TOKEN):\n        raise HTTPException(401, \"invalid token\")\n\n# praisonai/jobs/router.py\ndef create_router(store, executor) -\u003e APIRouter:\n    router = APIRouter(prefix=\"/api/v1/runs\", tags=[\"jobs\"],\n                       dependencies=[Depends(require_auth)])  # \u003c-- single line\n    ...\n```\n\nA startup-time refusal in `create_app` would round it out:\n\n```python\n# praisonai/jobs/server.py:create_app\nif not os.environ.get(\"PRAISONAI_JOBS_AUTH_TOKEN\"):\n    raise RuntimeError(\n        \"PRAISONAI_JOBS_AUTH_TOKEN is required; the jobs API \"\n        \"executes attacker-controllable agent code and must not \"\n        \"run without authentication.\"\n    )\n```\n\nThe pattern is already present in the sibling `praisonai/gateway/server.py` (which auto-generates a random token if none is supplied) \u2014 that approach plus a logged warning about the new token would minimize operator friction.\n\n## Steps to reproduce\n\n1.
