CVE-2026-61442 PraisonAI CVE debrief

Who should care

Users of PraisonAI Platform versions before 0.1.9 should apply the patch to prevent potential unauthorized modifications and deletions. This includes operators, administrators, and security teams responsible for managing and securing the platform. They should review the official advisory and CVE record to validate affected scope, severity, and vendor guidance.

Technical summary

The PraisonAI Platform before version 0.1.9 does not enforce owner/admin authorization on PATCH routes for projects, issues, and agents. This vulnerability requires a workspace member role and allows for potential unauthorized modifications and deletions. A workspace member can modify owner-created records; for projects, a member can reassign lead_id to their own user id and then delete the owner-created project, bypassing the delete route's owner/admin permission check. The vulnerability affects projects, issues, and agents, and defenders should review the official advisory and CVE record to validate affected scope and severity.
