Origin Validation Error

CVE-2026-46701

Severity Low
Score 0/10

Summary

The MCP SSE server defaults to an empty secret (process.env['NETWORK_AI_MCP_SECRET'] ?? '' at bin/mcp-server.ts:89), which causes _isAuthorized (lib/mcp-transport-sse.ts:254) to return true unconditionally for every request -- no Authorization header is required. Simultaneously, _handleRequest sets Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * (lib/mcp-transport-sse.ts:272) on every response, so a cross-origin browser fetch can read the result without restriction. An unauthenticated attacker who can lure a user to a malicious web page can invoke all 22 exposed MCP tools -- including config_set, agent_spawn, and blackboard_write -- against a default-configured localhost server. This issue affects versions prior to 5.4.5.
