Description

The A2U (Agent-to-User) event stream server in PraisonAI exposes all agent activity without authentication. This is a separate component from the gateway server fixed in CVE-2026-34952.

The create_a2u_routes() function registers the following endpoints with NO authentication checks:

  • GET /a2u/info — exposes server info and stream names
  • POST /a2u/subscribe — creates event stream subscription
  • GET /a2u/events/{stream_name} — streams ALL agent events
  • GET /a2u/events/sub/{id} — streams events for subscription
  • GET /a2u/health — health check

An unauthenticated attacker can:

  1. POST /a2u/subscribe → receive subscription_id
  2. GET /a2u/events/sub/{subscription_id} → receive live SSE stream of all agent events including responses, tool calls, and thinking

This exposes sensitive agent activity including responses, internal reasoning, and tool call arguments to any network attacker.

[1] POST /a2u/subscribe (no auth token) Status: 200 Response: {"subscription_id":"sub-a1ad8a6edd8b","stream_name":"events", "stream_url":"http://testserver/a2u/events/sub-a1ad8a6edd8b"} Got subscription_id: sub-a1ad8a6edd8b

[2] GET /a2u/info (no auth token) Status: 200 Response: {"name":"A2U Event Stream","version":"1.0.0", "streams":["events"],"event_types":["agent.started","agent.thinking", "agent.tool_call","agent.response","agent.completed","agent.error"]}

[3] GET /a2u/health (no auth token)
Status: 200 Response: {"status":"healthy","active_subscriptions":1,"active_streams":1}

Impact: Attacker can subscribe and receive ALL agent events including responses, tool calls, and internal reasoning in real-time

How to fix

Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.

Weakness

CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.

How to prevent it
  • Architecture and Design: Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area. Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
