CVE-2026-57137Public exploitNetwork attack vectorHinoki check available

Unauthorized tool execution via late approval callback

Published Sep 15, 2026 · Updated Sep 15, 2026

Incorrect authorization in PraisonAI 1.4.0 through 1.7.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute rejected tool operations. The TypeScript AgentLoop passes executable tools to generateText(), which runs handlers and fills toolResults before onToolCall evaluates approval. Exposure requires an application to accept lower-trust prompts, use onToolCall as an approval boundary, and register tools whose side effects run with the PraisonAI process's privileges.
