Detect PraisonAI Platform JWT Hardcoded Secret Key Token Forgery in CrowdStrike LogScale
Detects exploitation of CVE-2026-47410, a critical vulnerability in praisonai-platform (<= 0.1.2) where the JWT signing key defaults to the hardcoded value 'dev-secret-change-me' when PLATFORM_ENV is unset. An unauthenticated attacker can forge valid JWTs for any user, including administrators, enabling full platform compromise.

Testing Methodology
Validate this detection against 3 adversary techniques from Atomic Red Team. Each test below lists the behaviour to exercise and the telemetry you should expect to see. Executable commands and cleanup steps are available with Pro.
- Test 1Forge Admin JWT Using Hardcoded Dev Secret
Expected signal: Python3 process execution with inline code containing 'dev-secret-change-me' string; no network activity generated by this step alone.
- Test 2Use Forged Admin JWT Against praisonai-platform API
Expected signal: Network connection from test host to praisonai-platform port 8000; HTTP GET request with Authorization: Bearer header visible in access logs; HTTP 200 response to admin-only /api/users/ endpoint.
- Test 3Enumerate and Escalate via Forged JWT in Headless Environment
Expected signal: Multiple sequential HTTP requests to distinct admin endpoints within seconds from same source IP; all authenticated with the same Bearer token; successful 200 responses to admin-restricted paths.
