CVE-2026-40149: PraisonAI: Unauthenticated Allow-List Manipulation Bypasses Agent Tool Approval Safety Controls

April 10, 2026

The gateway’s /api/approval/allow-list endpoint permits unauthenticated modification of the tool approval allowlist when no auth_token is configured (the default). By adding dangerous tool names (e.g., shell_exec, file_write) to the allowlist, an attacker can cause the ExecApprovalManager to auto-approve all future agent invocations of those tools, bypassing the human-in-the-loop safety mechanism that the approval system is specifically designed to enforce.
