CVE-2026-48989

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Windows-MCP is an open-source project that integrates AI agents with Windows. In versions prior to 0.7.5, certain HTTP modes exposed the MCP control plane without authentication while enabling wildcard CORS (allow_origins=*, allow_methods=*, allow_headers=*). Because the same server also exposed a PowerShell tool that executes caller-controlled commands as the Windows user running Windows-MCP, attackers could reach the control plane from arbitrary origins or non-browser clients and achieve arbitrary PowerShell execution. This issue was fixed in version 0.7.5.

En versiones anteriores a la 0.7.5, ciertos modos HTTP expusieron el plano de control de MCP sin autenticación mientras habilitaban CORS de comodín (allow_origins=*, allow_methods=*, allow_headers=*). Debido a que el mismo servidor también expuso una herramienta de PowerShell que ejecuta comandos controlados por el llamador como el usuario de Windows que ejecuta Windows-MCP, los atacantes podían alcanzar el plano de control desde orígenes arbitrarios o clientes que no eran navegadores y lograr la ejecución arbitraria de PowerShell. Este problema se solucionó en la versión 0.7.5."
