CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The CKAN MCP Server is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) due to inadequate validation of caller-supplied CKAN server URLs, allowing attackers to make HTTP requests to local or private addresses. This could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data or services within the server's network. Organizations using CKAN MCP Server versions prior to 0.4.106 should prioritize applying the update to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

CKAN MCP Server is a tool for querying CKAN open data portals. A known vulnerability CVE-2026-33060 indicated tools including ckan_package_search and sparql_query that accept a base_url parameter had the risk of making HTTP requests to arbitrary endpoints without restriction. A fix was applied to filter out ip addresses. However, a method to bypass exists prior to version 0.4.106. CKAN MCP Server validates caller-supplied CKAN server URLs by inspecting only the parsed hostname string before issuing outbound HTTP requests. In `src/utils/http.ts`, hostname aliases such as `ip6-localhost` are not equal to `localhost`, are not dotted IPv4 literals, and are not bracketed IPv6 literals, so they pass the SSRF filter but can resolve to loopback when the server performs the request. A remote MCP caller that can invoke CKAN tools with a `server_url` can therefore make the server connect to local or private addresses and, for CKAN-shaped responses, receive response-derived data. The updated fix in version 0.4.106 replaced the single `hostname === 'localhost'` check with a blocked-hostname `Set` covering `ip6-localhost` and `ip6-loopback`.
