Last modified

CVE-2026-65957 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.9/10 on the CVSS scale. Helio is an MCP proxy that sits between AI agents and the tools they use. Prior to version 0.8.0, the dashboard sideband (default 127.0.0.1:3100) validated CORS request origins by matching the hostname against a private-network string prefix (10., 172.16.–172.31., 192.168.) rather than validating an IP address. EPSS estimates a 0.22% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Description

Helio is an MCP proxy that sits between AI agents and the tools they use. Prior to version 0.8.0, the dashboard sideband (default 127.0.0.1:3100) validated CORS request origins by matching the hostname against a private-network string prefix (10., 172.16.–172.31., 192.168.) rather than validating an IP address. A public DNS name such as 192.168.attacker.com, 10.evil.io, or 172.16.pwn.example also satisfies that prefix, so the proxy echoed the attacker origin in Access-Control-Allow-Origin. This issue has been patched in version 0.8.0.
