Affected: MervinPraison PraisonAI

PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to praisonai 4.6.58, praisonai serve agents and praisonai serve unified parse --api-key but _create_agents_app() and _create_unified_app() do not install a credential check. Unauthenticated callers can reach POST /agents and POST /api/v1/agents/{id}/invoke. This issue is fixed in version 4.6.58.

Affected: PyPI: PraisonAI

## Summary

`praisonai serve agents` and `praisonai serve unified` both accept `--api-key` for authentication. The flag is parsed but never wired into the FastAPI app — no middleware, no header check, nothing. The server runs wide open regardless of what key you set. Tested on 4.6.50 from PyPI.

## Affected versions

- Confirmed on **4.6.50** (current PyPI, 2026-06-02) - Likely since **4.6.34** when the serve subsystem shipped - File: `src/praisonai/praisonai/cli/features/serve.py`

## What happens

The CLI defines `--api-key` in the arg spec (`serve.py:199`) and passes the parsed value into `_create_agents_app(config)`. But that function never reads `config["api_key"]`. The FastAPI app gets created with no auth at all. Same thing in `_create_unified_app`.

The help text says `--api-key <key> API key for authentication`, so this isn't ambiguous — it's supposed to protect the server. It just doesn't. ``` $ grep -n "api_key" src/praisonai/praisonai/cli/features/serve.py 107: --api-key <key> API key for authentication 199: "api_key": {"default": None}, 847: "api_key": {"default": None}, ```

## Endpoints exposed without auth

- `POST /agents` — runs the full agent workflow - `POST /agents/{name}` — invokes a specific agent - `POST /api/v1/agents/{id}/invoke` — n8n integration endpoint - `GET /` — lists all endpoints - `GET /__praisonai__/discovery` — service discovery
