Summary
gojue MoLing before 0.5.0 leaves its /sse and /message endpoints unauthenticated in SSE mode and sends a wildcard Access-Control-Allow-Origin header (CWE-306). A malicious web page can read a session ID from /sse and use it against /message after a victim running SSE mode visits the page, even when the listener is bound to loopback. The attacker can then send unauthorized MCP tool calls that may read or write local files or run commands, depending on the configured tools.

Description from the CNA
MoLing is a computer-use and browser-use based MCP server. Prior to 0.5.0, when MoLing runs in SSE mode using `-l`, its `/sse` and `/message` HTTP endpoints do not authenticate requests and the `mcp-go` dependency sets `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`. A malicious web page can open a cross-origin `EventSource` to `/sse`, including a loopback listener, and read the `endpoint` event to obtain `sessionId`. After a victim running SSE mode visits that page, the attacker can use the disclosed `sessionId` against `/message` to send unauthorized MCP tool calls. Depending on the configured tools, those calls can read or write local files, execute commands or perform other actions. Binding only to loopback does not prevent this browser-mediated attack. This issue is fixed in version 0.5.0.
