CVE-2026-47396

PraisonAI’s call server can be run without authentication if the CALL_SERVER_TOKEN is not set, exposing a network‑facing API that lets anyone control agents. This flaw allows attackers to list, inspect, invoke, or delete agents from any reachable host. The issue is fixed in version 4.6.40.

auto-deletes from the system
counting…on Aug 20, 2026

An official fix is available, so this entry is kept for 30 days and then removed automatically.

01

Who is affected

PraisonAI, versions earlier than 4.6.40, especially users who start the call server without configuring CALL_SERVER_TOKEN.

02

Real-world impact

An attacker who can reach the call server can enumerate all agents, view their instructions and metadata, trigger agent actions, and even remove agents, effectively taking full control of the system’s agent layer.

03

Why this severity

The CVSS score of 9.8 reflects that the vulnerability is network‑exposed, requires no authentication, and gives attackers complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the agent control plane.

04

What to do about it

official fix available
recommended steps
  1. 01Upgrade PraisonAI to version 4.6.40 or later.
  2. 02Restart the call server after the upgrade.
