Why it matters

PraisonAI's prompt injection defense ships misconfigured by default, giving developers a false sense of protection while HIGH-level injection attacks pass through unblocked.

CVE-2026-61439 affects PraisonAI's Injection Defense layer, whose block threshold defaults to Threat Level CRITICAL — reached only when 3+ detection checks fire simultaneously. A single-check match on dangerous categories like instruction override or financial manipulation produces only a HIGH-severity result that is logged but never blocked, allowing prompt injections to bypass the defense.
