Cross-site MCP tool invocation via spoofed proxy header
Published Aug 31, 2026 · Updated Aug 31, 2026
Origin validation error in Ash AI allows remote attackers to invoke local MCP tools through an attacker-controlled web page. AshAi.Mcp.Server's origin_allowed?/3 compares the attacker-controlled Host value and trusts raw X-Forwarded-Proto as proof of HTTPS. The default allowed_origins setting and a user's visit to the page are required; accepted requests run with that user's actor.
