CVE-2026-46701
HighCVSS 7.6Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk6th percentile - higher than 6% of all known CVEs
Summary
Network-AI before version 5.4.5 defaults to an empty MCP SSE secret, allowing any unauthenticated request to be accepted. Additionally, the CORS header permits access from any origin, enabling an attacker to remotely invoke all 22 MCP tools on a local server.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can take over configuration, spawn agents, and modify data on the server, leading to full system compromise.
Recommendation
Update Network-AI to version 5.4.5 or later and configure a strong MCP secret in the NETWORK_AI_MCP_SECRET environment variable.
Other vulnerabilities in Network-AI
See all- CVE-2026-109332Low
Network-AI (npm network-ai) before 5.15.2 contains an origin validation error in McpSseServer._handleRequest in lib/mcp-transport-sse.ts that reflects localhost Origins into Access-Control-Allow-Origin regardless of bind interface. When the server binds a non-loopback address, an attacker page with a localhost Origin visited by a victim can read unauthenticated endpoints like /health cross-origin.
- CVE-2026-109331High
Network-AI from 5.14.0 before 5.15.2 contains a security control bypass vulnerability in the ClaudeHookBridge PreToolUse hook, which matches deny patterns only against the first present candidate field. A prompt-injected agent can place dangerous payloads in fields like Write content or an MCP script parameter beside a benign file_path or command, evading denyPatterns to write web shells or execute scripts.
- CVE-2026-54051Critical
Vulnerability in Network-AI (TypeScript/Node.js) before version 5.9.1 allows bypassing the shell command allowlist. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands by injecting special characters (e.g., `;`).
- CVE-2026-109330Medium
Network-AI 5.0.0 before 5.15.2 contains a cross-site WebSocket hijacking vulnerability in DashboardServer that allows remote attackers to read live agent topology because handleUpgrade performs no Origin or token validation. Attackers can lure a victim running the dashboard to a malicious page that opens a WebSocket to the loopback dashboard and exfiltrates agent IDs, roles, task descriptions, and token budgets.
- CVE-2026-73615High
Network-AI before version 5.15.1 contains a security matcher bypass vulnerability where SandboxPolicy evaluates raw command strings with quotes preserved while the executor tokenizes commands by stripping quotes before execution. Attackers can craft quoted commands that evade blocklist checks and approval gates while the executor runs the identical unquoted dangerous argv.
- CVE-2026-73614High
Network-AI ClaudeHookBridge before 5.15.1 truncates the target string to 500 characters before evaluating denyPatterns, while Claude Code executes the full untruncated command. Attackers can position dangerous content past byte 500 in a Bash command field to bypass the operator's hard-deny list and execute arbitrary commands.
- CVE-2026-58484High
In Network-AI (TypeScript/Node.js multi-agent orchestrator) before version 5.12.2, a vulnerability was found where the 'path' field in backup manifest files is trusted. An attacker can place a malicious manifest, causing arbitrary file or directory deletion during backup pruning.
- CVE-2026-58482Medium
Vulnerability in Network-AI (versions 5.0.0-5.12.1) in the ApprovalInbox component. The HTTP server lacks authentication and sets Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, allowing anyone who can send an HTTP request (including websites in the operator's browser) to approve pending high-risk actions without human consent.
- CVE-2026-58481Medium
Vulnerability in Network-AI (versions before 5.12.2) in the file sandbox mechanism. Path checks rely on string prefix matching, allowing an agent to read files from sibling directories with similar names (e.g., /tmp/network-ai-sandbox_evil) outside the intended sandbox.
- CVE-2026-58414Medium
Vulnerability in Network-AI (versions before 5.12.2) in the environment backup function. The _collectBackupFiles() function follows symbolic links, allowing an attacker to place a symlink to an external directory and copy its contents into the backup archive.
Original NVD description (English source)
Network-AI is a TypeScript/Node.js multi-agent orchestrator. Prior to version 5.4.5, the MCP SSE server defaults to an empty secret (`process.env['NETWORK_AI_MCP_SECRET'] ?? ''` at `bin/mcp-server.ts:89`), which causes `_isAuthorized` (`lib/mcp-transport-sse.ts:254`) to return `true` unconditionally for every request — no `Authorization` header is required. Simultaneously, `_handleRequest` sets `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` (`lib/mcp-transport-sse.ts:272`) on every response, so a cross-origin browser fetch can read the result without restriction. An unauthenticated attacker who can lure a user to a malicious web page can invoke all 22 exposed MCP tools — including `config_set`, `agent_spawn`, and `blackboard_write` — against a default-configured localhost server. Version 5.4.5 patches the issue.
