PraisonAI Platform API — workspace isolation bypass allows cross-tenant data access and self-promotion to owner

VulnerabilityHigh impactGlobalCVE-2026-48169
NVD published CVE-2026-48169 (CVSS 8.8, High) on August 7, 2026, detailing two chained authorization failures that together defeat workspace isolation in the PraisonAI multi-agent platform.
In a multi-tenant agentic-AI SaaS platform, broken workspace isolation is a direct violation of the tenant boundary any enterprise customer relies on — an attacker with any account on the platform can pivot into arbitrary other customers' agent workspaces, data, and administrative control.
The service layer for issues and projects performs global primary-key lookups without checking workspace ownership, so any authenticated user can read, modify, and delete resources in any workspace by manipulating UUIDs in API requests. Separately, member-management endpoints (add, update role, remove) lack proper ownership checks, letting a low-privilege member promote themselves to owner and remove legitimate owners.
PraisonAI Platform API prior to version 0.1.4
Upgrade to PraisonAI Platform API version 0.1.4 or later, which restores workspace-scoped authorization checks.
