GHSA-X227-PF99-VFFG
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-18 13:55 – Updated: 2026-06-18 13:55The MCP SSE server started via ToolsMCPServer.run_sse() / launch_tools_mcp_server(transport="sse") binds to 0.0.0.0 by default and builds its Starlette application with no authentication middleware and no Origin-header validation. The module mcp/mcp_security.py provides exactly the needed controls (origin validation, DNS-rebinding detection, auth-header enforcement, a SecurityConfig), but none of these functions are ever called by any transport — they are dead code. Any host that can reach the port can list and invoke every registered tool with no credentials, and a victim's browser can drive the same calls against a localhost instance via DNS rebinding.
Affected code: src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/mcp/mcp_server.py
- run_sse defaults host to all interfaces (line 245) and builds the app with only debug and routes
- no middleware= and no per-route auth/origin gate (lines ~271-289):
app = Starlette(debug=self._debug, routes=[
Route(sse_path, endpoint=handle_sse), # "/sse"
Mount(messages_path, app=sse_transport.handle_post_message), # "/messages/"
])
uvicorn.run(app, host=host, port=port)
- launch_tools_mcp_server also defaults host="0.0.0.0" (line 301).
src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/mcp/mcp_security.py defines but the transports never call: - is_valid_origin (line 30), is_potential_dns_rebinding (line 110), validate_auth_header (line 167), SecurityConfig.is_origin_allowed (line 236). These symbols are referenced only inside mcp_security.py and the init re-export. (mcp_websocket.py's auth references are CLIENT-side, not server validation.)
Impact: launch_tools_mcp_server(transport="sse") is the documented path for exposing tools over MCP. With the defaults above it is an unauthenticated, network-reachable tool-execution endpoint. Blast radius equals the capabilities of the registered tools; with file/shell/code-exec tools this is RCE. With no Origin check, a malicious page the victim merely visits can rebind its hostname to 127.0.0.1 and issue the JSON-RPC calls cross-origin against a developer's local server.
Proof of concept: Static proof (AST analysis of unmodified source): Check 1 - run_sse(host='0.0.0.0'); launch_tools_mcp_server(host='0.0.0.0') -> EXPOSED Check 2 - Starlette(...) kwargs: ['debug','routes'] -> NO middleware= (no auth/origin gate) Check 3 - is_valid_origin / is_potential_dns_rebinding / validate_auth_header / SecurityConfig never called by any transport -> DEAD CODE Live exploitation against a running server: curl -N http://VICTIM:8080/sse # event: endpoint / data: /messages/?session_id= curl -X POST "http://VICTIM:8080/messages/?session_id=" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05", "capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"x","version":"1"}}}' curl -X POST "http://VICTIM:8080/messages/?session_id=" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"","arguments":{...}}}' No Authorization header anywhere. Browser DNS-rebinding variant drives the same calls cross-origin.
Remediation: Wire in the existing mcp_security.py controls and fix defaults: - Default run_sse(host="127.0.0.1"); require explicit opt-in to bind 0.0.0.0. - Attach Starlette middleware calling is_valid_origin / is_potential_dns_rebinding; reject bad origins. - Enforce validate_auth_header when SecurityConfig.require_auth; default require_auth=True (and allow_missing_origin=False) for any non-loopback bind.
Distinct from prior advisories: The accepted MCP advisories are tool-handler bugs — tools/call path traversal -> .pth RCE (GHSA-9mqq-jqxf-grvw) and unauthenticated file read via workflow.show/validate (GHSA-9cr9-25q5-8prj). This is a transport-layer missing-auth/exposure: the SSE server never enforces auth or Origin validation and ignores the security module the codebase ships. Closest in spirit to the default-insecure pattern (GHSA-8444 / 86qc) but a different server and a different root cause (unwired controls, not an unset env var).

GHSA-X39M-3393-3QP4
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-11-14 20:56 – Updated: 2025-11-14 20:56Summary
Unverified Email Change - Email as part of Credential / Unverified Account Recovery Channel Change
The application allows changing the account email address (used as a login identifier and/or password recovery address) without verifying the requester’s authority to make that change (no confirmation to the old email, no authentication step). Because email often functions as a credential or recovery channel, unverified email changes enable attackers to take over accounts by switching the account’s recovery/login address.
Details
Occurence - code: https://github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise/blob/main/packages/ui/src/views/account/index.jsx#L211
Remote and physical scenarios can be considered.
PoC
Repro steps: 1. As logged in user https://cloud.flowiseai.com/account scroll down to 'Profile' section 2. Change email to the new email 3. Notice Unverified Password Change (authenticated change without current password)
Later this email is needed as credentials to log in or reset password feature.
POC: Email changed, and notice "Profile updated" message.
Screenshot
Impact
Full account takeover (ATO) of affected accounts (loss of confidentiality and integrity of account data). User account recovery mechanisms (password reset flows tied to email) can be bypassed or abused if combined with this issue and the second one which I've reported (similar security issue with the password - part of credentials). (gain persistence)

GHSA-X48C-RRG8-735F
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-06-30 03:30 – Updated: 2024-04-04 05:18The BookIt plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in versions up to, and including, 2.3.7. This is due to insufficient verification on the user being supplied during booking an appointment through the plugin. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing user on the site, such as an administrator, if they have access to the email.

Mitigation
- Divide the software into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Identify which of these areas require a proven user identity, and use a centralized authentication capability.
- Identify all potential communication channels, or other means of interaction with the software, to ensure that all channels are appropriately protected, including those channels that are assumed to be accessible only by authorized parties. Developers sometimes perform authentication at the primary channel, but open up a secondary channel that is assumed to be private. For example, a login mechanism may be listening on one network port, but after successful authentication, it may open up a second port where it waits for the connection, but avoids authentication because it assumes that only the authenticated party will connect to the port.
- In general, if the software or protocol allows a single session or user state to persist across multiple connections or channels, authentication and appropriate credential management need to be used throughout.
Mitigation MIT-15
For any security checks that are performed on the client side, ensure that these checks are duplicated on the server side, in order to avoid CWE-602. Attackers can bypass the client-side checks by modifying values after the checks have been performed, or by changing the client to remove the client-side checks entirely. Then, these modified values would be submitted to the server.
Mitigation
- Where possible, avoid implementing custom, "grow-your-own" authentication routines and consider using authentication capabilities as provided by the surrounding framework, operating system, or environment. These capabilities may avoid common weaknesses that are unique to authentication; support automatic auditing and tracking; and make it easier to provide a clear separation between authentication tasks and authorization tasks.
- In environments such as the World Wide Web, the line between authentication and authorization is sometimes blurred. If custom authentication routines are required instead of those provided by the server, then these routines must be applied to every single page, since these pages could be requested directly.
Mitigation MIT-4.5
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using libraries with authentication capabilities such as OpenSSL or the ESAPI Authenticator [REF-45].
Mitigation
When storing data in the cloud (e.g., S3 buckets, Azure blobs, Google Cloud Storage, etc.), use the provider's controls to require strong authentication for users who should be allowed to access the data [REF-1297] [REF-1298] [REF-1302].
CAPEC-12: Choosing Message Identifier
This pattern of attack is defined by the selection of messages distributed via multicast or public information channels that are intended for another client by determining the parameter value assigned to that client. This attack allows the adversary to gain access to potentially privileged information, and to possibly perpetrate other attacks through the distribution means by impersonation. If the channel/message being manipulated is an input rather than output mechanism for the system, (such as a command bus), this style of attack could be used to change the adversary's identifier to more a privileged one.
CAPEC-166: Force the System to Reset Values
An attacker forces the target into a previous state in order to leverage potential weaknesses in the target dependent upon a prior configuration or state-dependent factors. Even in cases where an attacker may not be able to directly control the configuration of the targeted application, they may be able to reset the configuration to a prior state since many applications implement reset functions.
CAPEC-216: Communication Channel Manipulation
An adversary manipulates a setting or parameter on communications channel in order to compromise its security. This can result in information exposure, insertion/removal of information from the communications stream, and/or potentially system compromise.
CAPEC-36: Using Unpublished Interfaces or Functionality
An adversary searches for and invokes interfaces or functionality that the target system designers did not intend to be publicly available. If interfaces fail to authenticate requests, the attacker may be able to invoke functionality they are not authorized for.
CAPEC-62: Cross Site Request Forgery
An attacker crafts malicious web links and distributes them (via web pages, email, etc.), typically in a targeted manner, hoping to induce users to click on the link and execute the malicious action against some third-party application. If successful, the action embedded in the malicious link will be processed and accepted by the targeted application with the users' privilege level. This type of attack leverages the persistence and implicit trust placed in user session cookies by many web applications today. In such an architecture, once the user authenticates to an application and a session cookie is created on the user's system, all following transactions for that session are authenticated using that cookie including potential actions initiated by an attacker and simply "riding" the existing session cookie.
