CVE-2026-61435: PraisonAI before 4.6.78 Authentication Bypass via Host Header Spoofing

Published Jul 15, 2026
·
Updated

PraisonAI before 4.6.78 contains an authentication bypass in the Call API agent invocation endpoints (src/praisonai/praisonai/api/agentinvoke.py) when PRAISONAICALLAUTH=disabled is configured. The safeguard intended to restrict the disabled-auth opt-out to localhost binding derives the bind host from request.url.hostname, which is taken from the client-controlled HTTP Host header. A remote, unauthenticated attacker who can reach the service over the network can send a spoofed 'Host: 127.0.0.1' header to bypass the localhost-only restriction and list (GET /api/v1/agents) and invoke (POST /api/v1/agents/{agentid}/invoke) registered agents without authentication.
