CVE-2026-56836
PraisonAI recipe serve Typer command bypasses the non-localhost authentication guard
Summary
PraisonAI's installed console entrypoint is Typer-first. In current releases,
the recipe command is registered in the Typer app and
praisonai recipe serve dispatches to the deprecated Typer command in
src/praisonai/praisonai/cli/commands/recipe.py.
That Typer command can start the Recipe HTTP server on a non-localhost
interface with no authentication:
praisonai recipe serve --host 0.0.0.0 --admin
It prints a deprecation warning, then launches the server with:
{
"host": "0.0.0.0",
"config": {
"cors_origins": "*",
"enable_admin": true
}
}
Because config.auth is absent, create_app() does not attach the API-key or
JWT middleware. Unauthenticated requests can then reach the recipe API and, when
enabled, /admin/reload.
This is an incomplete hardening / sibling-callsite issue. The legacy feature
handler in src/praisonai/praisonai/cli/features/recipe.py rejects the same
non-localhost/no-auth combination, and current create_auth_middleware() now
fails closed if API-key/JWT auth is selected without a secret. The installed
Typer command bypasses both expectations by never requiring or setting auth.
