Summary

Network-AI (npm network-ai) before 5.15.2 reflects localhost Origins into the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header in McpSseServer._handleRequest regardless of the bind interface (CWE-346). When the server binds a non-loopback address, a victim who visits an attacker page with a localhost Origin lets that page read unauthenticated endpoints such as /health cross-origin.
