CVE-2026-48989 PUBLISHED

Windows-MCP: HTTP transports expose unauthenticated PowerShell control with wildcard CORS

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 26.05.2026 Published: 17.06.2026 Updated: 17.06.2026

Windows-MCP is an open-source project that integrates AI agents with Windows. In versions prior to 0.7.5, certain HTTP modes exposed the MCP control plane without authentication while enabling wildcard CORS (allow_origins=, allow_methods=, allow_headers=*). Because the same server also exposed a PowerShell tool that executes caller-controlled commands as the Windows user running Windows-MCP, attackers could reach the control plane from arbitrary origins or non-browser clients and achieve arbitrary PowerShell execution. This issue was fixed in version 0.7.5.
