Summary
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. From praisonai 4.6.34 until 4.6.58, praisonai serve agents accepts --api-key but _create_agents_app() does not authenticate POST /agents or POST /agents/{agent_name}. A network caller can invoke configured agents without credentials even when an API key was supplied. This issue is fixed in version 4.6.58.

Fencer Vulns keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
CPEs and fixed versions use Anchore's correction of NVD's data: Added CPE configurations because not yet analyzed by NVD.
