CVE-2026-65957

Published Nov 11, 2026 Modified Nov 12, 2026 CWE-346 CWE-942

Description

Helio is an MCP proxy that sits between AI agents and the tools they use. Prior to version 0.8.0, the dashboard sideband (default 127.0.0.1:3100) validated CORS request origins by matching the hostname against a private-network string prefix (10., 172.16.–172.31., 192.168.) rather than validating an IP address. A public DNS name such as 192.168.attacker.com, 10.evil.io, or 172.16.pwn.example also satisfies that prefix, so the proxy echoed the attacker origin in Access-Control-Allow-Origin. This issue has been patched in version 0.8.0.
