Vulnerabilities

Serena is a powerful MCP toolkit for coding that provides semantic retrieval and editing capabilities. Prior to v1.5.2, Serena's built-in web dashboard exposes an unauthenticated Flask API on a fixed, predictable port, with no authentication, no CSRF protection, and no Host header validation. A DNS rebinding attack allows a malicious webpage to reach this API from any browser and write arbitrary content to the agent's persistent memory store, which the agent reads and acts on autonomously. Combined with execute_shell_command using shell=True, this creates a remote code execution chain requiring only that the victim visit a malicious webpage while Serena is running. This issue is fixed in version v1.5.2.

Mythic before 3.4.0.60 contains a broken hasura permission filter on the payload_build_step table with an always-satisfied _or condition that bypasses operation-scoped access controls. Authenticated operators and spectators can query payload_build_step to read step_stdout, step_stderr, step_name, and step_description across all operations on the server.
