Vulnerability Data

Coroot's unauthenticated MCP OAuth dynamic client registration endpoint accepts any syntactically valid redirect URI without validation, allowing attackers to register clients pointing to attacker-controlled hosts. Attackers can send authorization URLs to signed-in users, capture their authorization codes upon consent approval,…

and exchange them for access tokens to hijack MCP sessions.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly checks and rejects untrusted redirect targets before they are used in a response.

AC-4 Information Flow Enforcement partial match

Information flow enforcement can restrict redirects to only approved/trusted destinations, stopping untrusted user-supplied URLs from being followed.

A.8.23 Web filtering partial match
mitigates

Preventing access to attacker-controlled or malicious sites stops users from being redirected to untrusted locations via open-redirect or phishing links.
