  "details": "### Summary\nSetting `PRAISONAI_CALL_AUTH=disabled` completely disables all authentication on the `/api/v1/agents/{id}/invoke` endpoint. This bypass is advertised in the application\u0027s own error messages, making it likely to appear in production Docker and Compose configurations.\n\n### Details\n\n```python\n# src/praisonai/praisonai/api/agent_invoke.py:32\n_CALL_AUTH_DISABLED = os.getenv(\u0027PRAISONAI_CALL_AUTH\u0027, \u0027\u0027).lower() == \u0027disabled\u0027\n\nasync def verify_token(...) -\u003e None:\n    if _CALL_AUTH_DISABLED:\n        return  # all authentication skipped unconditionally\n```\n\nThe application\u0027s own error message advertises the bypass:\n\u003e \"Set CALL_SERVER_TOKEN or PRAISONAI_CALL_AUTH=disabled to run without authentication.\"\n\nThis causes the setting to appear in Docker/Compose configurations as a convenience option.\n\n### Proof of Concept\n\n```python\nimport os\nos.environ[\"PRAISONAI_CALL_AUTH\"] = \"disabled\"\n# verify_token() now returns immediately for any request\n# POST /api/v1/agents/any-agent/invoke \u2192 200 OK (no token needed)\n```\n\nCommon vulnerable deployment:\n\n```yaml\n# docker-compose.yml\nenvironment:\n  - PRAISONAI_CALL_AUTH=disabled  # auth completely disabled\n```\n\n### Impact\nFull unauthenticated access to the agent invocation API. Any agent registered on the server can be triggered without credentials, potentially executing arbitrary actions depending on the agent\u0027s configured tools.",
