Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
PraisonAI versions before 4.6.78 expose their MCP HTTP-stream server without authentication when no API key is configured, which is the default for the CLI's `--api-key` option. An unauthenticated client that can reach the server can list about 50 tools and send tool calls whose arguments are not checked against the tools' declared schemas. The source reports no confirmed remote code execution or file read. Upgrade to version 4.6.78 or later, or start the server with an API key set.
