AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability involves HMAC confirmation tokens in Zscaler MCP Server versions 0.7.0 and 0.7.1. Tokens are not bound to the specific resource identifier they protect, a weakness classified as CWE-305. As a result, a client or agent can capture or generate a valid token for one resource and replay it against another resource of the same type, effectively performing the same authorized action on that second resource.

Affected Systems

Zscaler MCP Server, vulnerable releases 0.7.0 and 0.7.1, are affected. The issue is resolved in version 0.7.2.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS Base Score of 4.6 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack requires an attacker to obtain a legitimate HMAC confirmation token, which can occur if the MCP client or agent is compromised or if an authenticated user can capture the token. Once a token is replayed, the attacker can perform any action that the original token permits on the target resource, potentially allowing unauthorized modification or deletion of resources of the same type.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Zscaler MCP Server to version 0.7.2 or later to remove the un token issue
  • If an upgrade cannot occur immediately, configure the server to reject or invalidate any tokens that are not tightly bound to a resource identifier, effectively preventing replay across resources
  • Disable or monitor any functionalities that issue tokens without resource binding to reduce the attack window
