CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:NCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2026-55526 is a high-severity Reliance on Reverse DNS Resolution for a Security-Critical Action (CWE-350) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 8.5 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 11th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) and IA-3 (Device Identification and Authentication) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data
PraisonAI is a multi-agent teams system. Prior to praisonaiagents 1.6.58, spider_tools._host_is_blocked() does not resolve ordinary hostnames before scrape_page fetches them. A hostname such as 127.0.0.1.nip.io passes validation and resolves to loopback, permitting internal HTTP access. The fix uses socket.getaddrinfo and…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Information flow enforcement can restrict which destinations the server is allowed to contact on behalf of users.
Requiring unique device identification and authentication before any connection prevents security decisions based solely on unverified reverse DNS lookups.
Mandating data-origin authentication for name/address resolution stops reliance on unauthenticated reverse DNS responses.
Input validation directly stops untrusted URLs from being accepted and fetched without destination checks.
Boundary protection limits the network reach of server-initiated requests even if SSRF occurs.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Monitoring DNS services can detect adverse events stemming from unverified reverse lookups.
Runtime monitoring of web applications and services can detect anomalous outbound requests indicative of SSRF.
Vulnerability identification processes can discover and record SSRF flaws in web applications.
Strong authentication of users/services/hardware directly prevents security decisions based on unauthenticated reverse DNS.
Network protections reduce the feasibility of attackers exploiting unauthenticated reverse-DNS decisions.
Secure development practices directly include input validation and destination allow-listing that prevent SSRF.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Operational threat data describing SSRF campaigns can be used to tighten outbound-request allow-lists and detection rules before attackers exploit them.
Network security controls can enforce authenticated, non-DNS-based host identification.
Secure network services discourage use of unauthenticated reverse-DNS for access decisions.
Application security requirements can mandate authenticated host verification instead of reverse DNS.
Secure architecture principles discourage reliance on unauthenticated DNS for security decisions.
Secure coding practices can replace reverse-DNS checks with cryptographically verified identities.
