CVE-2026-47406: praisonai-platform: IDOR enables cross-workspace data poisoning
GHSA-4x6r-9v57-3gqw HIGH CISA: ATTENDCVE-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.

What should I do?
5 steps-
Patch to praisonai-platform 0.1.4 immediately — this is the primary remediation.
-
If patching cannot be executed immediately, network-restrict the dependency API endpoints (/workspaces/*/issues/*/dependencies) to internal trusted networks only.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
