CVE-2026-7417
Published: 29 April 2026
Summary
CVE-2026-7417 is a medium-severity SSRF (CWE-918) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 5.5 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 6.0th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
This vulnerability is AI-related — categorised as AI Agent Protocols and Integrations; in the Protocol-Specific Risks risk domain.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2026-7417 is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability, classified under CWE-918, in Algovate xhs-mcp version 0.8.11. The flaw resides in the xhs_publish_content function within the file src/server/mcp.server.ts of the MCP Interface component, where manipulation of the media_paths argument enables the SSRF condition.
Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability without authentication, privileges, or user interaction and with low attack complexity, as indicated by its CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L). Exploitation allows limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially enabling attackers to forge requests from the server to arbitrary destinations.
The project was informed of the issue early via a GitHub issue report but has not responded as of the CVE publication on 2026-04-29. No patches or official mitigations are available in the referenced advisories. An exploit has been publicly disclosed, with details in GitHub issues on the project repository and a public exploit repository, as well as VulDB entries.
