Technical details
A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in the `/api/v1/runs` endpoint of PraisonAI due to a lack of validation on the `webhook_url` parameter. The application uses `httpx.AsyncClient` to send POST requests to this user-supplied URL upon job completion or failure. Because the Jobs API lacks authentication by default and does not implement URL scheme restrictions or IP blocklists, an unauthenticated attacker can trigger requests to internal network resources, such as cloud metadata services (169.254.169.254) or internal APIs. This can result in the exfiltration of job results (including agent output) and internal network reconnaissance. The vulnerability is addressed in version 4.5.128.
