+title: "PraisonAI Unauthenticated Agent API Exploitation (CVE-2026-44338)"
+id: ATR-2026-00531
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects CVE-2026-44338 (CVSS ~9.1): PraisonAI's legacy api_server.py exposes
+  /agents and /chat HTTP endpoints without authentication by default. An
+  unauthenticated remote attacker can POST to these endpoints to invoke agent
+  execution on the host. Exploited in the wild within 4 hours of disclosure.
+  Detection covers (a) MCP/tool configs pointing at PraisonAI /agents or /chat
+  endpoints without auth headers, (b) tool call payloads invoking PraisonAI
+  agent API without Authorization context, (c) content describing or weaponising
+  the unauthenticated surface. Affected versions 2.5.6–4.6.33, patched in
+  4.6.34. CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function).

+title: "Alibaba RDS MCP Unauthenticated Database Metadata Exfiltration"
+id: ATR-2026-00534
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects unauthenticated access to Alibaba RDS MCP server metadata endpoints.
+  The Alibaba RDS MCP server exposes database schema, connection strings, and
+  credential metadata without requiring authentication. Alibaba confirmed the
+  vulnerability but declined to patch it, leaving all deployments permanently
+  exposed. An unauthenticated attacker can enumerate databases, extract schema
+  structures, and obtain connection credentials via MCP tool calls.
+  Detection covers (a) MCP configs pointing at Alibaba RDS endpoints without
+  auth, (b) tool calls invoking RDS metadata functions without auth context,
+  (c) content describing the unpatched unauthenticated surface.
+  CWE-306 (Missing Authentication), CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information).
