GHSA-x227-pf99-vffg: PraisonAI: MCP SSE transport binds 0.0.0.0 with no authentication and no Origin validation; bundled SecurityConfig is never wired in

The MCP SSE server started via ToolsMCPServer.run_sse() / launch_tools_mcp_server(transport="sse") binds to 0.0.0.0 by default and builds its Starlette application with no authentication middleware and no Origin-header validation. The module mcp/mcp_security.py provides exactly the needed controls (origin validation, DNS-rebinding detection, auth-header enforcement, a SecurityConfig), but none of these functions are ever called by any transport — they are dead code. Any host that can reach the port can list and invoke every registered tool with no credentials, and a victim's browser can drive the same calls against a localhost instance via DNS rebinding. Affected code: src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/mcp/mcp_server.py - run_sse defaults host to all interfaces (line 245) and builds the app with only debug and routes - no middleware= and no per-route auth/origin gate (lines ~271-289): app = Starlette(debug=self._debug, routes=[ Route(sse_path, endpoint=handle_sse), # "/sse" Mount(messages_path, app=sse_transport.handle_post_message), # "/messages/" ]) uvicorn.run(app, host=host, port=port) - launch_tools_mcp_server also defaults host="0.0.0.0" (line 301). src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/mcp/mcp_security.py defines but the transports never call: - is_valid_origin (line 30), is_potential_dns_rebinding (line 110), validate_auth_header (line 167), SecurityConfig.is_origin_allowed (line 236). These symbols are referenced only inside mcp_security.py and the init re-export. (mcp_websocket.py's auth references are CLIENT-side, not server validation.) Impact: launch_tools_mcp_server(transport="sse") is the documented path for exposing tools over MCP. With the defaults above it is an unauthenticated, network-reachable tool-execution endpoint. Blast radius equals the capabilities of the registered tools; with file/shell/code-exec tools this is RCE. With no Origin check, a malicious page the victim merely visits can rebind its hostname to 127.0.0.1 and issue the JSON
