Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-350: Reliance on Reverse DNS Resolution for a Security-Critical Action, where the product performs reverse dns resolution on an ip address to obtain the hostname and make a security decision, but it does not properly ensure that the ip address is truly associated with the hostname. In Github.com/safedep/vet, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

SafeDep `vet` is vulnerable to a DNS rebinding attack due to lack of HTTP `Host` and `Origin` header validation. To exploit this vulnerability following conditions must be met: 1. A `vet` scan is executed and reports are saved as `sqlite3` database 2. A `vet` MCP server is running on default port with SSE transport that has access to the report database 3. The attacker lures the victim to attacker controlled website 4. Attacker leverages DNS rebinding to access `vet` SSE server on `127.0.0.1` through the website 5. Attacker uses MCP tools to read information from report database ### Impact Data from `vet` scan sqlite3 database may be exposed to remote attackers when `vet` is used as an MCP server in SSE mode with default ports through the sqlite3 query MCP tool. ### Patches * `v1.12.5` is released that patches the issue with `Host` and `Origin` header allow list and validation ### Workarounds * Use `stdio` (default) transport for SSE server
