SCA: security update for PraisonAI (GHSA-8444-4fhq-fxpq)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442513

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. CVE-2026-44338 (GHSA-6rmh-7xcm-cpxj) documents that PraisonAI
ships a code-generator (`praisonai.deploy.api.generate_api_server_code`) that emits a Flask API server
with authentication disabled by default. Users who follow the documented quickstart (`praisonai deploy
--type api`) get a server that binds to `0.0.0.0` per the recommended sample YAML, exposes `/chat` and
`/agents` endpoints, runs `praisonai.run()` on user-supplied JSON input — LLM orchestration with the API
key materials present in the process environment, and does not require any authentication. Versions prior
to 4.6.40 still ship the generator with `auth_enabled` defaulting to `False`. The fix shape is opt-in via
`APIConfig(auth_enabled=True, auth_token=...)`. Version 4.6.40 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-47393)

Solution

Update the PraisonAI library and its related packages to version 4.6.40 or later.
