Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in MCPJam Inspector by MCP

CVE-2026-23744

What is CVE-2026-23744?

CVE-2026-23744 is a severe remote code execution vulnerability found in MCPJam Inspector, a local-first development platform specifically designed for MCP servers. This vulnerability affects versions 1.4.2 and earlier, enabling an attacker to craft a specially-designed HTTP request that can trigger the installation of an MCP server. Once this occurs, the attacker gains the ability to execute arbitrary code remotely on the affected system. The severity of this vulnerability is amplified by the fact that, by default, MCPJam Inspector listens on all network interfaces (0.0.0.0), making it susceptible to external attacks. Organizations that rely on MCPJam Inspector for their development processes risk severe disruptions and loss of control over their systems if they fail to address this vulnerability promptly. A patch has been made available in version 1.4.3, which addresses the issues caused by the vulnerability.

Potential impact of CVE-2026-23744

1. Remote Code Execution: This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server remotely, potentially leading to full system compromise. Such access can enable them to manipulate data, disrupt services, or install additional malware.

2. Data Breaches: Given the nature of the vulnerability, attackers could exploit it to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information stored within the MCP server environment, resulting in potential data leaks or breaches.

3. Widespread Exploitation Risk: The default configuration of MCPJam Inspector exposes it to the internet, significantly increasing the risk of widespread exploitation. This vulnerability's presence enhances the threat landscape, particularly in environments that are not promptly patched or monitored for vulnerabilities.
