How to Fix CVE-2026-5323

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected a11y-mcp dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

a11y-mcp fixed: 1.0.5 
npm install a11y-mcp@1.0.5
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls a11y-mcp

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2026-5323, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls a11y-mcp

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of a11y-mcp in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.0.5), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls a11y-mcp command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), where the web server receives a url or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this url, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination. In a11y-mcp, 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

A vulnerability was found in priyankark a11y-mcp up to 1.0.5. This vulnerability affects the function A11yServer of the file src/index.js. The manipulation results in server-side request forgery. The attack must be initiated from a local position. The exploit has been made public and could be used. This product operates on a rolling release basis, ensuring continuous delivery. Consequently, there are no version details for either affected or updated releases. Upgrading to version 1.0.6 is able to resolve this issue. The patch is identified as e3e11c9e8482bd06b82fd9fced67be4856f0dffc. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The vendor acknowledged the issue but provides additional context for the CVSS rating: "a11y-mcp is a local stdio MCP server - it has no HTTP endpoint and is not network-accessible. The caller is always the local user or an LLM acting on their behalf with user approval."
