DescriptionCVE.org

MCPHub is a unified hub for centrally managing and dynamically orchestrating multiple MCP servers/APIs into separate endpoints with flexible routing strategies. Prior to version 0.12.15, the POST /api/servers and PUT /api/servers/:name endpoints in MCPHub create/update MCP server configurations and then immediately spawn the configured stdio process via child_process.spawn. Authentication is required, but there is no authorization check restricting these endpoints to admins, and there is no allowlist/sanitization on the command and args fields. As a result, any authenticated non-admin user can submit a server configuration with command:"/bin/sh" (or any other binary) and arbitrary args, causing MCPHub to execute the attacker-controlled process as the MCPHub server's OS user (commonly root in the published Docker image and in npx/systemd deployments). This issue has been patched in version 0.12.15.

AnalysisAI

Privilege-escalation-to-RCE in MCPHub before 0.12.15 lets any authenticated low-privileged user reach OS command execution via the POST /api/servers and PUT /api/servers/:name endpoints, which spawn a configured stdio process through child_process.spawn without an admin authorization check or command allowlist. Because command and args are attacker-controlled, a non-admin user can set command to /bin/sh (or any binary) and have MCPHub run it as its own OS user - frequently root in the published Docker image and in npx/systemd deployments. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires a valid authenticated MCPHub session at any privilege level (PR:L) - no admin role is needed, which is precisely the bug - and network reachability to the /api/servers management API. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine high-priority issue rather than an inflated CVSS number. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade to MCPHub 0.12.15 or later (https://github.com/samanhappy/mcphub/releases/tag/v0.12.15), which adds an admin authorization check on the server create/update endpoints. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, audit all systems running MCPHub to identify instances running versions before 0.12.15 and document their deployment context (Docker, systemd, manual) and privilege level; simultaneously disable public network access to the POST /api/servers and PUT /api/servers/:name endpoints pending remediation. …
