MCP Toolbox for Databases: Origin Validation Error

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2026-11624 is a critical-severity origin validation error vulnerability in MCP Toolbox for Databases from Google, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.4 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. The record lists version 0.25.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating MCP Toolbox for Databases to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.22% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Patch this week

Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.

What to do

  1. Update MCP Toolbox for Databases to 0.25.0 or a later version.
  2. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
  3. Because the attack needs a user to take part, warn users about unexpected links and files related to this product until it is patched.

Official description

The Model Context Protocol has a security warning advising servers to validate the "Origin" header on all incoming connections to prevent DNS rebinding attacks. Prior to the v0.25.0 release, users had no way to validate the origin's host. In v0.25.0, a new "--allowed-hosts" flag was introduced alongside the existing "--allowed-origins" flag, enabling users to specify permitted hosts at server startup. Both flags default to "*", allowing users to implement strict access controls as needed without breaking existing setups. If either flag is set to "*", the server will output a startup warning about potential vulnerabilities. Documentation has also been updated to highlight these security considerations.
