CVE-2026-39889
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 createa2uroutes() 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:
- POST /a2u/subscribe → receive subscription_id
- 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.
