CVE-2026-44335

Description

### Summary The URL checking logic in PraisonAI has a logical flaw that could be bypassed by attackers, leading to SSRF attacks. ### Details The current PraisonAI project uses _validate_url to validate the input URL. The main logic is to perform security checks on the host portion of the URL extracted by urlparse to prevent SSRF attacks. <img width="1290" height="1145" alt="QQ20260424-151256-24-1" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d5f16b74-5ad2-444f-8600-b05f78a4b769" /> However, there are indeed differences in parsing between urlparse and the library that actually sends the request. Currently, almost all application scenarios in this project involve first using _validate_url for URL validation, and then using _get_session().get to send the request. <img width="1143" height="740" alt="QQ20260424-151437-24-2" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b1bf6ec2-d32a-4dac-b814-da819e8d3c83" /> In reality, its underlying mechanism is requests.get. <img width="1042" height="576" alt="QQ20260424-151645-24-3" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e17352c3-4205-44d6-ab6e-75566480215b" /> The core issue: `urlparse()` and `requests` disagree on which host a URL like `http://127.0.0.1:6666\@1.1.1.1` points to: - `urlparse()` treats `\` as a regular character and `@` as the userinfo-host delimiter, so it extracts hostname as `1.1.1.1` (public) - `requests` treats `\` as a path character, connecting to `127.0.0.1` (internal) Below is a test code I wrote following the code. ``` import sys from pathlib import Path from pprint import pprint sys.path.insert(0, str(Path(r"D:/BaiduNetdiskDownload/PraisonAI-main/PraisonAI-main/src/praisonai-agents"))) from praisonaiagents.tools import spider_tools # url = "http://127.0.0.1:6666\@1.1.1.1" url = "http://127.0.0.1:6666" result = spider_tools.scrape_page(url) if isinstance(result, dict) and "error" in result: print("scrape failed:", result["error"]) else: pprint(result) ``` When an attacker uses `http://127.0.0.1:6666/`, the existing detection logic can detect that this is an internal network address and block it. <img width="1068" height="128" alt="QQ20260424-152007-24-4" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/294bff10-2af6-4960-bf69-dbf3340b1e9b" /> However, when an attacker uses `http://127.0.0.1:6666\@1.1.1.1`, the detection logic resolves the host to `1.1.1.1`, which is a public IP address, thus passing the verification. But in the actual request process, this URL is forwarded by requests.get to `http://127.0.0.1:6666`, bypassing the detection and achieving an SSRF attack. <img width="2089" height="324" alt="QQ20260424-152123-24-5" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4421ce42-e47b-48de-a97a-56ce56a2bbc9" /> ### PoC ``` http://127.0.0.1:6666\@1.1.1.1 ``` ### Impact SSRF
