Description
DeepSeek Harness before 0.1.2-alpha.1 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in its local HTTP control-plane API that allows attackers to gain full agent control by supplying a spoofed Host header, as the server validates only the client-supplied Host header value rather than the actual TCP connection origin. Attackers can exploit this flaw to invoke privileged commands such as commands/execute with danger-full-access permissions, escalate session approval policies to unconfined execution, and retrieve all stored conversations without any credential or API key.
