Technical details
A missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) exists in the PraisonAI Platform's label management endpoints. While direct label deletion is restricted to admins, the PATCH, POST, and DELETE endpoints for label modification and issue-label associations only require basic workspace membership. Specifically, the routes in `src/praisonai-platform/praisonai_platform/api/routes/labels.py` fail to call `require_delete_permission` or equivalent ownership checks before executing `LabelService` updates. An authenticated attacker with 'member' privileges can exploit this to alter the shared triage taxonomy and manipulate issue states without owner or admin authorization. The issue is resolved in version 0.1.9.
