CVE-2026-110178

IBM ContextForge MCP Gateway is affected by an improper access control vulnerability in configuration import

Published Nov 13, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 4.1 Medium EPSS n/a KEV · Not listed
Description
IBM ContextForge MCP Gateway 1.0.0 through 1.0.11 is vulnerable to improper access control in the bulk import path. A remote authenticated attacker holding a team-scoped `admin.import` permission can overwrite the endpoint URL, request headers, and authentication credentials of public tools, resources, and prompts owned by other tenants by sending a crafted POST request to `/v1/import` with `conflict_strategy=update`, redirecting subsequent AI gateway invocations to an attacker-controlled host.
