Description
tiger-gh-mcp-server started its MCP HTTP transport without enabling the host allow-list the underlying SDK provides. src/httpServer.ts called the shared httpServerFactory helper and never set the DNS-rebinding-protection option, so the transport accepted a request whatever host it named, making the locally reachable GitHub MCP endpoint drivable from a page in a visitor's browser that pointed a name it controlled at the bound address. The fix passes the option explicitly alongside a dependency update; the update alone would not have closed it. The repository has published no release that brackets the fix, so the affected boundary is the commit preceding it.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability allows an attacker to perform DNS rebinding because tiger-gh-mcp-server starts the MCP HTTP transport without enabling the host allow-list provided by the underlying SDK. A malicious page loaded in a victim’s browser can point a DNS name it controls to the local GitHub MCP endpoint, and the server will accept and forward the request. This gives the attacker indirect access to the internal endpoint from the victim’s browser, potentially exposing sensitive data or internal services.

Affected Systems

Timescale tiger‑gh‑mcp‑server, all commits before the recent patch that enabled DNS‑rebinding protection. No specific version numbers are listed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.6 indicates a high impact, and while the EPSS score is not available, the lack of a KEV listing means the vulnerability may not yet be widely exploited. The attack requires the attacker to control a DNS name and host a malicious page, so the vector is via an authenticated or unauthenticated web page that the user visits. The vulnerability would enable internal endpoint access from the victim’s browser alone.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update tiger‑gh‑mcp‑server to the latest commit that includes the DNS‑rebinding protection and the dependency update.
  • Verify that the "DNS‑rebinding‑protection" option is explicitly enabled in the httpServerFactory configuration.
  • If an immediate update is not possible, isolate the MCP service from public access, restricting it to internal networks or using a firewall rule that blocks external DNS resolution to the local host.
