CVE-2026-40116: PraisonAI: Unauthenticated WebSocket Endpoint Proxies to Paid OpenAI Realtime API Without Rate Limits

The /media-stream WebSocket endpoint in PraisonAI’s call module accepts connections from any client without authentication or Twilio signature validation. Each connection opens an authenticated session to OpenAI’s Realtime API using the server’s API key. There are no limits on concurrent connections, message rate, or message size, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to exhaust server resources and drain the victim’s OpenAI API credits.
