Site takeover via indexed MCP bearer token
Published Nov 5, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Sensitive information exposure in Meow Apps AI Engine 3.1.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to steal an MCP bearer token. No-Auth MCP routes embed the bearer token in their paths and register without show_in_index set to false, so the public WordPress REST index reveals it. The disabled-by-default No-Auth URL setting must be enabled; the stolen token grants MCP command access that can create or promote an administrator account.
