Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid authenticated account on the runZero Platform (CVSS PR:L). The attacker must target the MCP service specifically and must be able to identify or enumerate a user-controlled key value that resolves to another user's or organization's findings summaries. High attack complexity (AC:H) reflects the difficulty of obtaining valid cross-tenant keys. The impact is read-only and limited to findings summary data - no write or denial-of-service capability. There is no indication that default configurations are immune; any deployment with the MCP service active and multiple tenants or users is in scope.

Impact

The overall risk is low. The CVSS base score of 3.5 is consistent with the described impact: network-accessible (AV:N) but requiring a legitimately authenticated account (PR:L) and high attack complexity (AC:H), meaning the attacker must correctly enumerate or infer a valid user-controlled key belonging to another tenant. The scope change (S:C) elevates the theoretical severity by crossing authorization boundaries, but the actual impact is bounded to limited confidentiality (C:L) - findings summaries only - with no integrity or availability consequence. EPSS data is not provided; given the niche deployment footprint of runZero and the high attack complexity, opportunistic at-scale exploitation is unlikely. No KEV listing or public exploit code is present. This is a real but low-priority vulnerability: patching at next maintenance cycle is appropriate for most operators, and no emergency response is warranted.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated runZero Platform user crafts API requests to the MCP service, substituting a user-controlled key parameter with an identifier belonging to a different organization or user. If the key resolves successfully, the service returns that target's findings summary data without enforcing the requester's authorization boundary. No public exploit code is available; an attacker would need to enumerate or guess valid keys belonging to other tenants.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 01, 2026

Authorization bypass in the runZero Platform MCP service allows an authenticated network attacker to read findings summaries belonging to other users or organizations by manipulating a user-controlled key in API requests. Affected versions of the platform prior to 5.1.260826.0 are exposed; the vendor has resolved the issue in that release. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified; exploitation is rated CVSS Low (3.5) due to high attack complexity and limited confidentiality impact.

RemediationAI

The primary remediation is to upgrade runZero Platform to version 5.1.260826.0 or later, which resolves the authorization bypass per the vendor advisory at https://www.runzero.com/advisories/runzero-mcp-findings-summaries-data-leak-cve-2026-81846. No workarounds are described in the available data; if immediate upgrade is not feasible, restricting access to the MCP service endpoint to only explicitly authorized internal clients (e.g., via network-layer ACLs or firewall rules) would reduce exposure by requiring an attacker to already be on the trusted network segment before exploiting the user-controlled key flaw.

Technical ContextAI · show details

runZero Platform is a network discovery and asset inventory product used by security teams; the affected component is its MCP (Model Context Protocol) service, which exposes platform data to AI-integrated tooling. The root cause is CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key): the service uses a key supplied by the requester to locate and return authorization-gated records - specifically findings summaries - without adequately validating that the caller is entitled to the resource identified by that key. Affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:runzero:platform:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all platform versions prior to 5.1.260826.0. The CVSS scope change (S:C) reflects that the bypass crosses the authorization boundary of one user/organization and exposes data belonging to a different security principal.
