CVE-2026-44192
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
A flaw was found in the Ansible Lightspeed Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This vulnerability, known as path traversal, allows an attacker to manipulate an AI agent through indirect prompt injection. By doing so, the attacker can cause the server to write files to unauthorized locations on the user's system. This can result in the exposure of sensitive host information and enable the attacker to execute malicious commands, potentially leading to a full system compromise.

"value": "Se encontró una falla en el servidor del Protocolo de Contexto del Modelo (MCP) de Ansible Lightspeed. Esta vulnerabilidad, conocida como salto de ruta, permite a un atacante manipular un agente de IA a través de la inyección indirecta de prompts. Al hacerlo, el atacante puede hacer que el servidor escriba archivos en ubicaciones no autorizadas en el sistema del usuario. Esto puede resultar en la exposición de información sensible del host y permitir al atacante ejecutar comandos maliciosos, lo que podría llevar a un compromiso total del sistema."
