AV:N for WebSocket access; AC:H for concurrent-client requirement; PR:L for initial connection; C:L added because broadcast inherently discloses cross-client MCP responses.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A weakness has been identified in 78 xiaozhi-esp32 up to 2.2.6. Affected by this issue is the function ParseMessage of the file main/mcp_server.cc of the component MCP Response Handler. This manipulation causes improper synchronization. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The attack's complexity is rated as high. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The pull request to fix this issue awaits acceptance.
AnalysisAI
Improper response routing in xiaozhi-esp32 firmware up to version 2.2.6 allows any authenticated WebSocket client to receive MCP (Model Context Protocol) responses intended for other connected clients, enabling cross-client information disclosure and low-integrity interference. The flaw resides in the ParseMessage function within main/mcp_server.cc, where the MCP Response Handler broadcasts responses globally to all connected WebSocket clients on port 8080 rather than routing replies back to the originating client. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires: (1) the device runs xiaozhi-esp32 firmware version 2.2.6 or earlier compiled with a board configuration that includes WebSocketControlServer, such as the otto-robot variant; (2) the attacker has already established a WebSocket connection to port 8080 - network-level access to the device and the ability to complete the WebSocket handshake are prerequisites, making purely unauthenticated internet-originated attacks unlikely given typical local-WiFi deployments; (3) at least one concurrent victim client session must be active and issuing MCP requests at the same time as the attacker's session. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Real-world risk is low, consistent with the CVSS 4.0 base score of 2.3. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with access to the same local WiFi network as an affected xiaozhi-esp32 device connects to the WebSocket control server on port 8080 simultaneously with a legitimate user who is issuing MCP commands. Due to the unpatched global broadcast behavior in ParseMessage, the attacker's WebSocket session receives the MCP response intended for the legitimate user, potentially exposing AI interaction results or voice command outputs. … |
| Remediation | An upstream fix is available as GitHub pull request #2021 (https://github.com/78/xiaozhi-esp32/pull/2021), which replaces the global broadcast mechanism with targeted per-client response delivery; however, this PR was pending acceptance at time of analysis, and no released patched version number has been independently confirmed. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
