CVE-2026-77518
MaxKB: Known MCP tool IDs expose owner Tool.code and can be referenced by attacker workflows
No known exploitation. EPSS puts it in the 17th percentile. No fix published yet.
What to do
No fixed build or workaround is published yet. Limit exposure and watch for a patch.
What it is
From the CVE record
MaxKB is an open-source AI assistant for enterprise. In 2.10.2-lts and earlier, a normal workspace user who knows another user's active MCP tool_id in the same workspace can retrieve the hidden tool through the tool-detail route because it does not apply the per-resource authorization used by the list route. The response includes Tool.code, which may contain MCP server configuration and headers, and an attacker who can create or edit an attacker-owned workflow can place the same foreign mcp_tool_id in a workflow mcp-node so workflow debug uses the owner's MCP configuration without verifying permission to use that tool. No fixed version is available as of this review.
