CVE-2026-47406: praisonai-platform: IDOR enables cross-workspace data poisoning

CISO Take

CVE-2026-47406 is an Insecure Direct Object Reference flaw in praisonai-platform where a valid workspace member token is sufficient to read, write, and delete issue dependencies across every tenant on the platform — there is no ownership check at the service layer despite a route-level membership gate. For CISOs running AI agent workflows on PraisonAI, the blast radius is significant: a single low-privilege contractor account can corrupt dependency graphs in workspaces they have never been invited to, and a single POST request can poison two foreign workspaces simultaneously. This package has accumulated 59 CVEs, a pattern signaling systemic security debt rather than isolated bugs. Patch immediately to praisonai-platform 0.1.4; if patching is not immediately feasible, network-restrict the dependency API endpoints to trusted internal networks only.

What is the risk?

The CVSS score of 8.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) reflects a low exploitation bar: an attacker needs only a valid workspace member credential, no special configuration, no user interaction, and no complex attack chain. For multi-tenant deployments — the primary model for SaaS AI agent platforms — the effective impact is significantly higher than the base score suggests, since the scope limitation (S:U) does not capture cross-tenant data integrity violation. Single-tenant deployments face lower risk as lateral movement stays within a single organization boundary. There is no public proof-of-concept exploit at time of publication, but the advisory includes a complete code walkthrough of the vulnerable path, reducing attacker development time to near zero and making this functionally PoC-quality disclosure. EPSS data is not yet available given the recency of the advisory.

How does the attack unfold?

Workspace Enrollment
Attacker registers as a legitimate member of an attacker-controlled workspace, obtaining a valid JWT with workspace_member role that passes the route-level require_workspace_member check.
AML.T0012
Foreign UUID Harvesting
Attacker collects foreign workspace issue UUIDs leaked via agent prompt history, activity feeds, shared context windows, or error responses that serialize internal issue IDs from other tenants.
AML.T0049
Cross-Workspace IDOR Execution
Attacker POSTs to /workspaces/{attacker_workspace_id}/issues/{foreign_issue_id}/dependencies with body depends_on_issue_id pointing to a second foreign issue — membership check passes, DependencyService.create performs zero ownership validation on either ID.
AML.T0049
Multi-Tenant Integrity Compromise
Foreign workspaces' dependency graphs are poisoned with attacker-injected blocking relationships, freezing issue closure workflows, halting AI deployment pipelines, and leaking project topology across tenant boundaries.

What should I do?

5 steps
  1. Patch to praisonai-platform 0.1.4 immediately — this is the primary remediation.

  2. If patching cannot be executed immediately, network-restrict the dependency API endpoints (/workspaces/*/issues/*/dependencies) to internal trusted networks only.

  3. Audit dependency creation logs for anomalies: flag any requests where issue_id or depends_on_issue_id in the request path or body does not belong to the authenticated user's workspace.

  4. Implement runtime monitoring for issue IDs appearing in request bodies that resolve to foreign workspace records — this should not occur in a correctly authorized system.

  5. If cross-workspace dependency pollution is suspected, rotate all workspace member tokens in affected tenants and audit dependency graphs for attacker-injected blocking relationships.

What are the technical details?

Original Advisory

PraisonAI Platform is the platform layer for the PraisonAI multi-agent teams system. Versions prior to 0.1.4 have an Insecure Direct Object Reference. The dependency endpoints (`POST/GET /workspaces/{workspace_id}/issues/{issue_id}/dependencies` and `DELETE .../dependencies/{dep_id}`) gate access on `require_workspace_member(workspace_id)` only, then dispatch to `DependencyService` calls that take URL/body-supplied issue and dependency IDs without verifying any of them belong to the membership-checked workspace. Most damaging: `create_dependency` accepts `body.depends_on_issue_id` from the request body — that ID is checked against nothing — letting an attacker create a "blocks" or "related" link between any two issues anywhere in the database. PraisonAI Platform version 0.1.4 patches the issue.

Exploitation Scenario

A contractor is granted a legitimate seat in an attacker-controlled workspace on a shared PraisonAI platform instance. During normal platform activity — browsing shared agent context windows, reading activity feeds, or observing error responses that serialize internal issue UUIDs — the attacker harvests foreign workspace issue IDs from a target organization also using the platform. With two foreign issue UUIDs in hand, the attacker sends a single authenticated POST to /workspaces/{attacker_workspace_id}/issues/{foreign_issue_A}/dependencies with body {"depends_on_issue_id": "{foreign_issue_B}"}. The route-level workspace membership check passes; DependencyService.create never validates that either ID belongs to the attacker's workspace. The result is a phantom blocking relationship injected between two issues in the target's workspace — their critical AI model deployment issue now shows as blocked by an unrelated issue, halting their release pipeline until the poisoned dependency is manually detected and removed.

Weaknesses (CWE)

CWE-639 — Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key: The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.

  • [Architecture and Design] For each and every data access, ensure that the user has sufficient privilege to access the record that is being requested.
  • [Architecture and Design, Implementation] Make sure that the key that is used in the lookup of a specific user's record is not controllable externally by the user or that any tampering can be detected.
