CVE-2026-79748 – MCPHub: Authenticated non-admin user achieves RCE via POST /api/servers (missing authorization on stdio command/args)

​CVE ID :CVE-2026-79748

Published : Aug. 31, 2026, 6:17 p.m. | 1 hour, 29 minutes ago

Description :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.

Severity: 9.9 | CRITICAL
