DescriptionCVE.org

Origin Validation Error vulnerability in ash-project ash_ai allows a malicious web page to bypass the MCP server's DNS-rebinding protection and issue cross-site requests to a user's local MCP server with that user's actor.

In AshAi.Mcp.Server, with the default allowed_origins: nil, origin_allowed?/3 accepts an origin when uri.host == conn.host and the forwarded scheme is https. Both values are attacker-controlled: conn.host comes from the Host header and the scheme is read from the raw x-forwarded-proto header with no trusted-proxy check. Under DNS rebinding the browser sends the attacker's origin and a matching host, and page JavaScript may set X-Forwarded-Proto: https, so the check passes with no TLS or proxy involved. The fix trusts only localhost origins by default; other origins require an explicit allowed_origins allowlist.

This issue affects ash_ai: from 0.8.0 before 1.0.0.

AnalysisAI

DNS-rebinding protection in AshAi.Mcp.Server (ash_ai 0.8.0-0.x) is bypassable because the default origin check trusts the attacker-controlled Host and X-Forwarded-Proto headers as proxies for TLS context. A malicious web page can exploit this to issue arbitrary cross-site requests to the victim's locally running MCP server, executing MCP calls under the victim's actor credentials. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires all of the following: (1) the victim is running ash_ai's AshAi.Mcp.Server with its default allowed_origins: nil setting (versions 0.8.0 to 0.x); (2) the victim visits an attacker-controlled web page in a browser; (3) the attacker controls a DNS record with a TTL short enough to expire and be re-resolved to 127.0.0.1 while the page remains open (classic DNS-rebinding prerequisite); (4) the MCP server is listening on a port reachable from localhost in the browser. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.4 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N) correctly reflects high confidentiality and integrity impact on the vulnerable system with no availability dimension. … 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 Upgrade ash_ai to version 1.0.0 or later, which contains the fix committed at https://github.com/ash-project/ash_ai/commit/28af68d73134df0b8fb3aa6ab03e8fd795b07c21. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
