PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to praisonai 4.6.58, create_auth_middleware() allows requests when auth=api-key lacks PRAISONAI_API_KEY or JWT authentication lacks PRAISONAI_JWT_SECRET. An externally bound Recipe server can therefore accept unauthenticated POST /v1/recipes/run requests despite authentication being enabled. This issue is fixed in version 4.6.58.
