npm PraisonAI AgentOS exposes unauthenticated agent listing and invocation
CVE-2026-57140GHSA-9752-mhqh-h34f
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (praisonai 1.7.2), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.
This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description
As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.
Summary The published npm package praisonai ships a TypeScript AgentOS HTTP server that defaults to host: "0.0.0.0" and registers sensitive agent routes without any authentication or authorization middleware. When a developer starts AgentOS, a network attacker who can reach the service can: - read configured agent names, roles, and the first 100 characters of each agent's instructions through GET /api/agents; and - invoke the selected agent through POST /api/chat without credentials. This is distinct from the existing Python/PyPI AgentOS and API-server advisories. The affected package here is npm:praisonai; the current published npm package is 1.7.1, and the same TypeScript source is still present in refreshed origin/main at v4.6.58. Technical Details AgentOSConfig exposes host, CORS, and API-prefix settings but no authentication token, auth mode, or authorization callback. Relevant current-head source: AgentOS.createApp() registers JSON parsing and CORS handling, then immediately…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-57140 Advisory: npm PraisonAI AgentOS exposes unauthenticated agent listing and invocation IDs: CVE-2026-57140, GHSA-9752-mhqh-h34f Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-57140 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 12:57 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.4) Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: praisonai 1.7.2. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - npm praisonai: affected >= 1.6.0, <= 1.7.1; fixed in 1.7.2 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - `npm ls praisonai --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`. ## Supported action Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version. ## Required regression checks - Run the test suite and a production build. - Exercise the features that depend on praisonai. - Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed. ## Rollback considerations - Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward. ## Unresolved questions - Which deployments run an affected version? - Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority. - Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production. ## Sources - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-9752-mhqh-h34f (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-9752-mhqh-h34f lists affected ranges: npm praisonai >=1.6.0 <=1.7.1) - Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-9752-mhqh-h34f (OSV record GHSA-9752-mhqh-h34f lists affected ranges: npm praisonai >=1.6.0 <1.7.2 (fixed)) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
